Think bigger - public spaces, streets, in general. Would be nice to solve this.

Think bigger - public spaces, streets, in general. Would be nice to solve this.
- paulcole 1y agoIt is solved. Videos and photos are allowed in public spaces. You just don’t like the solution.
- brna-2 1y agoHeh, you could be right on this one. But on the other hand, if I was the one filming and I knew a person in the frame wanted more privacy if possible I would be glad to omit them or cut them out.
- crazygringo 1y agoBut you can already do that. This discussion isn't about what's polite. It's about what you think ought to be against the law. And being fined or thrown in jail if you break the law.
- brna-2 1y agoI was really thinking of imposing a framework where people know someones preference even when looking at the videos later. I would be fine even if there is no fine, if someone found me on one of your photos and say - look a lanyard, what a jerk for putting that online, without any additional consequence. EU came into my mind because of the existing GDPR and as a platform where this could be propagated. No I would generally not want anyone to go to jail even it the footage wracks my life somehow, but I would want a mechanism to broadcast my preference to the recording world.
- paulcole 1y ago> if someone found me on one of your photos and say - look a lanyard, what a jerk for putting that online, without any additional consequence You can wear a lanyard today!
- op00to 1y agoSure. They could simply ask you nicely and accept whatever the result is. This is the case now.
- paulcole 1y agoBut what if you weren’t glad to omit them or cut them out? What happens then?
- crazygringo 1y agoI disagree. It wouldn't be nice to solve it, because it would mean nobody could ever take a picture of anything where there might be anyone recognizable in the background, without getting them to sign some kind of model release first. Is that what you want? For innocent photography in public to be essentially outlawed?
- ixsploit 1y agoOr you know, not making it public. And if you might need to make the photo public, you could blur the faces.
- crazygringo 1y agoAnd your want to make that the law, so you get fined or go to jail if you don't blur everyone's face on every photo you post if you haven't gotten a signed consent from them?
- andersa 1y agoYes.
- crazygringo 1y agoWell, thanks for being honest. That's not a world I would want to live in, and I guess I'm thankful most other people don't either. The ability to photograph is important for accountability and truth in a democracy, it's important to families wanting to document and share their trips easily, and it's important for art, among many other things. Fundamentally, it feels like a kind of freedom to me. But it's interesting to see there are people who disagree.
- andersa 1y agoYou can do all of those things without creating a public record of me.
- op00to 1y agoIt’s solved. You can take pictures in public in the US. That’s part of our fundamental freedoms.
