They make it illegal to have photos on people on the internet without their consent?
Treat the photographed person as a model automatically, maybe even treat the act of intentionally taking a picture of a stranger as a binding contract, thus requiring the subject's consent if you wish to publish the picture.
Practically, it would just mean that people who still take these pictures would either keep them to themselves, trade the pictures directly to other users, but no longer publish them online on places such as reddit and other forums.
That's certainly an improvement over the current situation I'd say.
The situation you're describing is literally impossible to implement. How can I prove that an ass shot of me is well, me? How can I contact everyone in a blurry nightclub photo for their consent, what if it's a group of people I just met?
The red tape involved with just getting facebook pictures taken down would take years. This is one of those things that is a side effect of the technology as is, the only way to curb it is to take away every camera phone on the planet.
