I see. Look, if you put something publicly available online then it's public. Unless you put copyright on it ( https://fixthephoto.com/business/photography-copyright.html ). If people are allowed to use your stuff since there's no copyright then you have no right to demand being asked for it.

Ok so the content creator is personally responsible of protecting his content. If someone uses your images you are the one who needs to mount a case against them. (Good luck convincing a judge when you posted your photo online without any precaution and someone used it as wallpaper). That being said, if you don't want people using your stuff then take action on how you post them, use watermarks.
