A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

As someone that does media for various branches, it's happens painfully often.
When I was with a library system, the head of the comms team downloaded a persons cooking video from youtube, edited out every instance of the channels logo on the bottom and clips of the persons face then uploaded it like "To celebrate this event, here's our recipe for this dish". They didn't see anything wrong with what they did. For Behavioral Health, they sent me a watermarked photo they liked and asked if I could just remove the watermark and use it for fliers.
Only person that ever double checked if we had a license for an image was up in admin. Everyone else had this surreal idea that if something was online, it was free to use.
