Understanding AWDTSG Groups: What They Are and Your Rights
Are We Dating The Same Guy (AWDTSG) groups have become increasingly prevalent on Facebook and other social media platforms. These groups, while intended to help women share information about dating experiences, often cross legal boundaries when it comes to privacy and consent.
What Are AWDTSG Groups?
AWDTSG groups are private Facebook communities where members share information, photos, and experiences about men they've dated or encountered. The stated purpose is typically to:
- Share warnings about potentially problematic individuals
- Verify dating profiles and identities
- Create a support network for women navigating dating
The Legal Issues
While the intention may be protective, these groups often violate several legal principles:
Privacy Violations
- **Unauthorized Photo Sharing**: Posting someone's photos without consent
- **Personal Information Disclosure**: Sharing private details, locations, or contact information
- **Revenge Sharing**: Using the platform to retaliate after relationship conflicts
Potential Defamation
- **False Statements**: Sharing unverified or false information that damages reputation
- **Malicious Intent**: Posts designed to harm rather than protect
Your Legal Rights
If your content appears in these groups without permission, you have several rights:
Right to Privacy
You have a fundamental right to control how your image and personal information are shared online.
Right to Removal
Under various privacy laws and platform policies, you can demand removal of unauthorized content.
Legal Recourse
In serious cases, you may have grounds for legal action including:
- Privacy violation claims
- Defamation lawsuits
- Harassment complaints
What You Can Do
If you discover your content in an AWDTSG group:
1. **Document Everything**: Take screenshots before content can be deleted
2. **Contact the Group**: Request immediate removal
3. **Report to Platform**: Use Facebook's reporting mechanisms
4. **Seek Professional Help**: Consider legal assistance for persistent violations
Professional Removal Services
When direct approaches fail, professional removal services can:
- Navigate complex platform policies
- Use legal channels effectively
- Ensure complete removal across multiple groups
- Protect against future violations
Remember, you don't have to handle this alone. Professional legal assistance can help protect your rights and restore your privacy.
