There are at least two different issues here, and it is a shame that they often seem conflated: 1. Filming without consent in public. 2. Uploading the media without consent of the subjects to social media or other public platform, or private channels with multiple participants. I have no problem with the former - as others have pointed out, there is a long history of doing this in the name of art, documentation etc. Asking for consent just isn't often feasible in advance. The latter though seems to me to be deeply unethical in principle, though there may be exceptions. It is the exposure to the view of others (often with intent to ridicule or shame) that seems to be the invasion of privacy and the aspect with significant potential to hurt.
