Is it illegal to turn ugly photos of others into emoticons and videos?

Legal analysis: Strictly speaking, in photography activities, as long as there is one of the following circumstances, it can be considered as infringement of others' portrait rights.

1. The act of using the portrait of the portrait owner without the consent of the portrait owner without hindrance and illegal reasons.

2. Making portraits of others without authorization (including having photos of others).

3. Malicious insults and uglification of other people's portraits.

Legal basis: Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC).

Article 1018 A natural person enjoys the right to portrait, and has the right to make, use, make public or permit others to use his own portrait according to law.

Article 995 Where the right to personality is infringed, the victim has the right to request the actor to bear civil liability in accordance with the provisions of this Law and other laws. The limitation of action does not apply to the victim's right to stop the infringement, remove the obstruction, eliminate the danger, eliminate the influence, restore his reputation and apologize.
