This is extremely backwards. You don't need to photograph anyone in public places. Would you be ok with having a photo making a ridiculous face online? Or a photo where it looks like you're going to hit someone? Or a photo ignoring a homeless person? All of those would miss context, of course, but the Internet doesn't need context to do whatever with that pic.

  Well, in Spain's it is settled law as you say: you need to ask for consent to distribute images of someone save for a few exceptions, in which "I took a photo of someone in the street" doesn't fit. So it's settled law depending on your country.
