Because I think that people have a right not to be secretly filmed let alone being published on the Internet. For me it seems a natural thing that doesn't need explanation.

Probably. The customers expected that they just take a ride and are not being filmed. They don't expect that their face will be published on the Internet so that anyone can find their social network page and learn who they are.

It should not be this way. Wikipedia says that in some countries there are laws against this [1]. Of course, some laws could be written before Internet become popular so they need adaptation.
This article [2] also mentions that surveillance can be regulated by laws.
Finally, there are personality rights [3] although they are related to commercial activity.

- bb88 8y agoThanks for replying. I think there's a wide gulf between what people estimate their rights to be and their actual rights granted to them by law. I understand your sentiment with not having your image spread throughout the internet without your permission, but asking for that right would break journalism. I'd be up for a fix so long as it doesn't create criminals of both professional photographers and tourists livestreaming on times square, say.
