I received a message from my cousin today; a photo of me from a private social event was shared by an account. I was really shocked because I had only shared this photo with close friends. Who owns that account, and how can I find out? Honestly, I am extremely tense right now, and I don’t know what to do. How should I resolve this?

5Such things are really risky. In our neighborhood, a girl’s private photo was spread around, and it was the talk of the town for months. Take action as soon as possible, go report that account immediately. It could get worse if it goes to court. Who knows where else this photo might be.
Did you feel like the account sharing the photo is anonymous, or is it someone you know? I mean, back in the day, everyone used to talk face-to-face and resolve things. Now, these kinds of things feel pretty unpleasant to me.
@nostaljiustasi It’s an anonymous account, but my cousin said “it could be someone we know.” To be honest, I’m a bit more scared now 
@mahallesakini I don’t think it’s necessary to exaggerate this much. Maybe it’s just someone who uploaded it by mistake, perhaps there’s no bad intent. I think before you go to the police, maybe just talk to a cousin or something.
If the photo has been shared without your permission, it falls under the violation of privacy. You can file a complaint. But first, take screenshots as they will serve as evidence for legal proceedings. Also, be cautious of your friends because it could be someone from your close circle.
