I think being asked to stop distributing magazines with people's photos in them, when you didn't get prior permission to publish them, is reasonable.
That people are so casual about what they post publicly online is nuts. That sites that exist pretty much solely to enable that bad judgement keep operating is nuts.
- kube-system 6y agoI'd have to disagree with that. The press shouldn't need permission to engage in photographic journalism. The restrictions we place on them should be very narrow and specific.
- josefx 6y agoGermany has exclusions for persons and events of public interest. So journalists can still do their job.
- kube-system 6y agoThe "public interest" is often a very politically sensitive subject to define. While I'm sure that works great 99% of the time, is that last 1% worth the sacrifice? Personally I prefer the default to be legality, and make exceptions for things we want to be illegal, rather than reverse.
- tephra 6y agoJournalism is in many ways excempt from the gdpr (although it does vary by member states IIRC)
- M2Ys4U 6y agoThe key point is balancing the rights when they are in conflict. There's obviously more weight put on the freedom of expression side of the argument when it concerns journalistic endeavours than, say, a grandmother wanting to post pictures of her kids.
