It's generally not okay to post pictures of people on the internet without their permission. This is because it can be a violation of their privacy and could even lead to legal issues. If someone posts a picture of you online without your consent, it could be considered defamation or harassment. Additionally, posting false or misleading pictures can spread misinformation and harm someone's reputation. It's important to respect people's privacy and obtain their permission before sharing their images online. If you're unsure about whether or not you can post a picture, it's always best to err on the side of caution and ask for permission first.

Actual audio transcript (What native speakers are likely to hear):

Don’t, I don’t think that pachures are permitted to be posted on the Internet, which, without any kind of permission from government or any kind of regulatory bodies, because if they are posted on the Internet and permission, then it creates a kind of misinformation for the public, and they will think that this is true. And they get, they publish, uh, pictures in the social media and are they terms of fraud and their, uh, transfer, being captive in prison for around ten years. So, uh, in my opinion, they should not be posted on the Internet, which, without any kind of permission, unless they are true and unless they are, uh, safe for the public.
