      Forsén stated in the 2019 documentary film Losing Lena, "I retired from modeling a long time ago. It’s time I retired from tech, too… Let’s commit to losing me.

      From Wikipedia

      She was a paid model, so I don’t consider the usage unethical based on that. But I like this comment from a journal:

      In today’s age of high-resolution digital image technology, it seems difficult to argue that a 512 × 512 image produced with a 1970s-era analog scanner is the best we have to offer as an image quality test standard".

      Lmao, they do have a point though!

        I mean, this puts into context that the standard probably should have been some kind of test card like this :

          See below. We don’t disagree. It’s a good move, the hype is the problem. It feels wrong. It should have been removed as it was the right thing to do. I’ve seen a lot of stuff about this recently from people who feel the need to chirp about a woman that wanted privacy.

        Naw, they’re excellent for determining which kind of people are controlling manipulative monsters!
