Street photography predates the internet. It often involves photographing someone who is unaware they're being photographed, and in many cases publishing the photograph without seeking permission. Its legality varies significantly by jurisdiction, which can be tricky where a jurisdiction recognizes both a right to privacy and a right to freedom of expression.
In the US, courts have generally found that photographing someone where they do not have a "reasonable expectation of privacy", i.e. anywhere open to the public is protected under the first amendment.
