IMO it's fine if you keep the video strictly to yourself and don't share it with third-parties or feed it as training material to the panopticon.
That is, you can film a crowd I'm part of; just keep it off google drive, whatsapp, tiktok, facebook, and youtube.
The reason so many conflate the two is because for most people they are not distinct activities.
- bigiain 4y agoI'm a little less convinced that "crowd shots" count in this discussion. When some jerk goes up to a girl with the intent to humiliate her for TikTok lulz by asking her to name 3 ACDC songs, that video no only should never be "shared with 3rd parties", but should never even be made in the first place. On the other hand, I wouldn't even think about asking your consent to post a crowd pan shot of a music festival with hundreds (or thousands) of people in shot. And unless you happened to be one of the people right behind me and obviously recognisable in the clip, I'd consider you insane if you objected or asked me to take it down. I've not fully thought this through, but there's a big difference between "active engagement" with a specific person like the TikTok jerk, and passive engagement like "look at the crowd here at SXSW!" And there's a hard line in the sand about the TikTok jerk's intentions of hoping to humiliate people publicly. If that TikTok jerk had caught me on a bad day as I was coming back to my partner while he was pulling that shit, he'd probably be buying a new microphone and camera after I'd stomped them...
