No different than if he had walked into the store, stood across the table from someone looking at a computer, and stared into their eyes.
That would freak most people out. There would be complaints, and he'd be escorted out & told to not return.
Legal? yes, but only because we'd rather not have laws applying the police power of the state against nigh unto every conceivable human interaction however defined.
- BHSPitMonkey 14y agoNot only is that not "no different", it's not even close. Nobody expects that if you stare at them, photos of them will start appearing on a web server as part of an art exhibition (or in any tangible form other than a person's memory, for that matter).
- ctdonath 14y agoFine. "no less" than, in answer to those (him) trying to spin it as something perfectly legal/acceptable which nobody should be concerned/outraged/surprised about. If staring at strangers in stores will get you thrown off the premises, how much more so when staring at thousands of strangers and publishing their reactions?
