Can one open a picture or video after Shabbos from social media of a Jew who posted it on Shabbos?

 

You may open it after Shabbos after the amount of time it takes to post such a picture or video after Shabbos elapses, which is literally a few seconds after Shabbos.

However, if you believe that by not opening it, the individual will refrain in the future from sending it to you on Shabbos, you should indeed not open it.

If it’s a picture or video of an event that happened on Shabbos, other rules might apply. See here:
