Well, don't go out into public then .. because others have every right to record what you are doing in public.

Well, don't go out into public then .. because others have every right to record what you are doing in public.
- gumballindie 3y agoSorry - I am confused. Are you saying that we should accept creeps lurking around taking photos of people?
- boffinAudio 3y agoYou should accept the fact that, while out and about in public, you have no expectation of privacy. In your own home - sure. Such is the price of freedom.
- gumballindie 3y ago> Such is the price of freedom. I am confused again. How am I free if my own persona is up for grabs by a business?
- boffinAudio 3y agoYou have the freedom to be outside and also record everything you perceive. You can't deny others that freedom and expect to attain it yourself, too. That you don't exercise that right is immaterial and has no bearing on whether I should be able to freely exercise that right as well.
- gumballindie 3y agoBut you are not a corporation?
- boffinAudio 3y agoCorporations are composed of individual human beings who are also exercising their universal rights in the course of involvement in that corporate entity .. will you start making a special class of humans that has those rights and can exercise them, and a class that can't based on their membership in a social group? Then: Congratulations, you've become the very repressive thing you were resisting in the first place. Yes, this is the price of freedom: in public, where you can express yourself, and exercise your universally granted rights to free expression (and thus recording) or not - without the expectation of being impinged upon by your peers - so too can others express themselves, and exercise their same universal rights. Its a two way street and it belongs to the public.
- JohnFen 3y ago> Such is the price of freedom. No. This is an example of reducing the freedom of some in order to increase the liberties of others.
- boffinAudio 3y agoThe right to record is a human right.
- blagie 3y ago.... somewhat .... In the US specifically, there are protected first amendment rights. However, plenty of people have genuine reason to be concerned. Stalkers. Witness protection. Etc. Having managed large datasets, these things come up fairly often. There's an incredible diversity of potential problems. It's not reasonable to tell everyone who has an issue like this: "Well, don't go out into public then"
- boffinAudio 3y ago>somewhat Its a universal human right, actually, to be able to record anything you can perceive in public ... without that right we cannot exercise political freedom or our rights as individuals for redress. >It's not reasonable to tell everyone who has an issue like this: "Well, don't go out into public then" Of course it is. They have equal rights - and equal opportunity, therefore, to express - or not express - these rights. It is entirely up to the individual to make the decision to exercise those rights and to not deny them to others for any reason, as it is a fundamental, universal human right to record others in public.
- barrysteve 3y agoPolitical freedom is exercized at the ballot box, not in photos of my wife.
- boffinAudio 3y agoThe Right to Record is clearly protected under provisions of international human rights standards such as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and Universal Declaration of Human Rights that protect freedom of expression, freedom of assembly, and the right to information.
- 34679 3y agoThe founding fathers didn't record any video, publicly or privately. They were still able to "exercise political freedom". There's no such thing as a "fundamental, universal right" that requires the possession and use of a product.
