I am saddened that we live in a time where people surreptitiously photograph others in public without any thought to ethics. I know it's legal and people should have no expectation of privacy in public but it's tragic to see this gradual erosion of common-courtesy privacy.
- hyperdunc 10y agoThere are definite upsides though. For example people can't get away with illegal behavior so easily. There's an interesting fiction book called "The Circle" that explores the consequences of having cameras absolutely everywhere.
- mdrzn 10y agoInteresting! I googled it and it seems like they're making a movie about it. Can't wait.
- userbinator 10y agoIf the government feels like they have the rights to mass surveillance, I think we should also have the same rights to personal surveillance.
- broody 10y agoCompletely disagree with this. How is this unethical? The people in his photos just so happens to be there, it's no different than you taking a photo of your friend in a crowded area.
- Veratyr 10y agoFrom an emotional standpoint I see why this would be an issue (everything you do in public being recorded forever is a bit intimidating) but from a logical/philosophical standpoint, how is this different from someone with a photographic memory? Is it that the images can be shared?
- dTal 10y agoI would say that that is indeed the key difference.
