That just isn't true. Imagine any kind of event where you want to take photos and publish them. Now you have to get an agreement from people on who is allowed to be photographed and who's photos you are allowed to publish, assuming that not all people agreed you now have to go through every single photo figuring out which one you are allowed to use and which one you aren't.
This isn't a hypothetical, I have agreed with many, many such waivers for many different kind of events.
To say that this law only affects creeps is plainly false. Even if you are just planning a wedding this will affect you.

- constantcrying 2y agoMost likely yes, but People get drunk at weddings. And if you are organizing any kind of corporate event it might very well be the case that someone disagrees, not asking simply isn't an option. My point is that even a normal person with completely benign motives has to consider this. Contrary to what the other poster claimed it isn't a law which only "creeps" have to care about.
- nicbou 2y agoI can confirm from experience. In a few German events, the organisers asked for my permission to take/share photos, and I refused. Not a single picture of me was shared. I never had to justify why, and it never felt abnormal.
- nicbou 2y agoThat is correct. A good example is if you are hosting a meetup, and want to share pictures of the people who presented on stage.
