Really who cares if they can discretely take your photo out in public. You have no expectation of privacy in public and totally legal to take someone’s picture.

Really who cares if they can discretely take your photo out in public. You have no expectation of privacy in public and totally legal to take someone’s picture. In fact if they had say a Nikon p1000 they could very clearly take your picture from a mile away. Check out this zoom test and you can see people 3.5 miles away it will blow your mind. From a mile it would be trivial. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LhQlwKX3LQA&pp=ygUVbmlrb24gcDEwMDAgem9vbSB0ZXN0 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LhQlwKX3LQA&pp=ygUVbmlrb24gcDE...
- salad-tycoon 3y agoThat was incredible. It gave me vertigo.
- 14 3y agoWhat is also incredible is that the camera is only like $1300 USD. So totally obtainable for the average person.
- lnrd 3y agoThe expectation of privacy in public changes in each country and with different laws. Where I live in the EU there is an expectation of privacy in public and it's illegal to take a picture of someone that portrays them in a bad or embarrassing way. Given how easily it is already to take pictures and videos discreetly with smartphones and how it's already abused by all kind of people (especially younger generations), I say that for once Meta did a good thing (even though I'm sure they did it only to avoid bad PR given their reputation). Even if something is already bad doesn't mean everything new should be bad as well just because of it.
