And you're making this claims about all videos in this format or what? The "Man on the street" format isn't anything new. I don't think you have any evidence to state this as an absolute.
I'm sorry you had a bad experience with a video camera in public but you can be publicly humiliated and harassed without a camera too.
My disagreement is that there is no law requiring consent to film in public and there shouldn't be. We should clearly define what kind of behavior is considered harassment and create more avenues to reduce it but that is irrespective of recording. Something that was harassment without recording is still harassment with recording and vice-versa.
- clnq 4y agoNot all videos in the "man on the street" format. The typical TikTok trend ones.
- Ataraxic 4y agoSo all tiktok videos shot in the "tiktok" format are about provoking a reaction? You're the one who makes the claim.
- clnq 4y agoIt feels like you're trying to strawman this. I will reiterate just in case your questioning is sincere - I was talking about the typical TikTok trend videos where a person in the street is ambushed for content. Not all "TikTok format" videos.
