I am most uneasy with the legality and normalization of the lobby footage. I wonder if the residents of that building have been alerted to their exposure on this? The residents may have signed away their rights to surveillance footage being shared with 3rd party "partners" like in many privacy agreements in U.S. If that's the case, it probably wasn't clear to them what they were signing, and how the footage would be used. Now that this has come to light, I wonder if the next chapter involves some legal action from these residents? Would they have a case? NYC has really progressively renters rights and many public advocacy groups who may want to study the rental agreements that make this stuff possible.

Whenever reading about these kind of horror stories, I feel so lucky that we have the GDPR in europe. AFAIK under GDPR it would be imposssible to share those data without explicit, free, informed consent of all affected persons [1]. Even if shared, you have a right to information with whom the data was shared (and for which purpose) and a right for demanding erasure.
