“Good portion of the world” is probably a handful of people.

Her full quote btw:

“Once upon a time, I was the centerfold of Playboy,” says the former model in the new documentary Losing Lena. “But I retired from modeling a long time ago. It’s time I retired from tech, too.”

I found a contradicting statement where she said that she doesn't mind her picture being used in tech. Maybe even in the wikipedia article you got this quote from. I don't have the time to find it right now but here for example she says she's proud of the picture: https://archive.is/fIRoG

"Lena doesn’t harbor any resentment toward Sawchuk and his imitators for how they appropriated her image; the only note of regret she expressed was that she wasn’t better compensated. In her view, the photograph is an immense accomplishment that just happened to take on a life of its own. “I’m really proud of that picture,” she said."

    I agree. I shared the quote above (cited as evidence on Wikipedia) because it’s not at all clear she said she disapproves. combined with your quote I think we have a classic case of being offended on another’s behalf.

      Oh, I grossly misinterpreted what you said then

      > I think we have a classic case of being offended on another’s behalf.

      Definitely!
