- derangedHorse 7y agoTo be fair, going to a music festival where you know you have to give camera consent is also voluntarily. Doesn't mean you can't complain about it.
- Hnrobert42 7y agoIn a strictly legal sense, you may be right, but in a practical sense, I disagree. A form which asks you to actively supply information is different from overlooking a short passage in a very long, intentionally complicated ToS weeks before walking into a venue. Further, collecting contact info aligns with the data subject’s goal, i.e. an impactful petition. With FR used for security, the goals are also aligned, i.e. a fun event. But for immigration control or marketing, the data subject does not benefit and may even be harmed by the data collection.
