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 :

She has since asked for the image to no longer be used, “I retired from modeling a long time ago. It’s time I retired from tech, too. We can make a simple change today that creates a lasting change for tomorrow. Let’s commit to losing me.”
Yeah, those woke culture warriors at the … IEEE … distracting us from … Something… by asking academic researchers to … Refrain from using a specific cropped pornographic image that the model has asked people to stop using.
Those bastards.
I’m referring to class warfare. It’s a nice gesture but not worth the media throughfare, especially as she asked for it not to be used. You can just do it and not make it a big fuss. There are better problems to worry about. Hyping it feels perverse. It should be done simply because it’s right and she wanted privacy. I’m aware this is a bit ironic, but I don’t think it should be such a wild thing to show a bit of respect to what the affected parties want. I suppose posting rhe meme isn’t helping but I can’t resist a good Cena meme.
Edit: I suppose I’m trying to say that the fact that this is a notable change at all is an indication of a problem.
