In the UK filming in public and publishing the film anywhere is indeed a right and freedom, so you're mocking British concepts of freedom and the pianist for defending it.
It's ludicrous to claim you have a right to force others to avert their cameras when you are out in public, and that otherwise, your rights are violated. If you don't want to be seen, wear a mask. The public and its eyes/cameras don't belong to you.
- g-b-r 3y agoIf that's British concept of freedom I'm most definitely mocking it. You can't see that you're forcing people to act in some way when you film them. The kind of freedom you defend here is the one of reducing other people's freedom (by a larger amount than what you sacrifice by not filming).
- ETH_start 3y agoYou're not forcing people to act in any way by filmimg them. Filming is not an act of force, and yet you advocate employing state force to restrict it.
- g-b-r 3y agoYou do, and it is, even if it doesn't involve muscles. Can I avoid it if you refuse to blur me / not upload the video ? Sure, by beating you up maybe, but that's not really allowed in today's society xD
- ETH_start 3y agoYou haven't described any aspect of filming you that forces you to do something, yet still maintain a right to use force against those who film in public.
- g-b-r 3y agoYou can't see how you're forced to constrain your behavior if you're going on YouTube? (assuming you were presentable to begin with)
- ETH_start 3y agoNope, not forced
- InvertedRhodium 3y agoIf your behaviour would somehow be considered unacceptable when the camera isn’t rolling, then yes, I could see that constraining someone’s actions. I don’t see that as a negative though.
- g-b-r 3y agoUnacceptable behavior would be unacceptable camera or no camera, since you're in public (even in countries that limit recording you generally can record illegal behavior, if it's to report it to law enforcement). But the minimal standard for simply walking among strangers and for being recorded forever for the world to see is very different, if you care about your dignity. And that's all assuming there are surveillance cameras to limit other actions in the first place
