Do share your view as an islander. For Mainland peoples, if you want to share share with pictures

I’m trying to understand the legal and ethical side of this.

If an official government body (like the Ministry of Tribal Affairs) records and posts a video of the Jarawa tribe for awareness or documentation, does that automatically mean private pages, influencers, or media accounts can freely repost or redistribute that same content just by giving credits?

Pages should understand this.

Owning or being authorized to film ≠ automatically having rights for others to repost/distribute publicly.

I’m not arguing that all awareness content is wrong. I’m questioning whether official publication should automatically be interpreted as open social-media circulation when the subject involves vulnerable tribal communities whose protection laws exist specifically to prevent exploitation.
