Do Mass Media companies such as CNN, ABC, FOX, local news stations, and newspapers have the right to use my social media photos?
Often times I see “suspects” photos of people who did crimes along with their names.
Or people who passed away in car accidents or shootings. Their “Facebook” or “Instagram” photos are always pictured on the news.
So can they use my photos without permission ?

This would be a better question for a legal advice sub than here, I think.

You need to review the social media TOS, especially for public posts. You don’t own anything you post on social media, nor do you have rights to it. The company does. Especially Meta

Yes you’re licensing them to the social media site, the site is then licensing them for documentary or ‘news’ use.
