>Freedom of expression Even in America, you need permits in many places to film for commercial reasons. People who are making a job out of being an 'influencer' are obviously filming commercially, so I don't see anything wrong with making them get permits.

And follow all the other rules aroind commercial content creation, e.g. getting model consent before publishing. Something all pros do, and again a way where disruption is actually just another way to say that rules don't apply to you. The trickey question is so where the threshold for "commercial" activities lies.

  USA has looser rules around taking photos of strangers then other places (like European countries tho rules there differ). In general, if it is public space, you can legally take pictures of people and use them even when they are fairly prominent in pic. The privacy limits tend to be stricter in EU, usually to Americans comains on HN. But, in the article in question, other people were not issue. More of too many repetitions and activity changing feel of the place.

So? How does that contradicts anything I wrote? Freedom of expression is name of a group in Nepal pushing for their things. America is utterly irrelevant (but actually public photography in America allows quite a lot). Note also how those permits literally never state "your intentions must have pure interest in place itself" as person I responded to assumes. Instead, they tend to be commercial and protecting monetary value of the place. Once you pay for permit you do whatever you please with it, unless it divides between commercial and non commercial. And they never limit platform - there are rules around flash or noise or time spend etc - you are quite clear on them from the start. Which is literally what the disagreement in article is about. Note also I disagree primary with nonsensical comments that projects their outrage over media not targeted at them existing and young people putting serious effort in them then with Nepal authorities trying to trial-and-error rules that will work.
