I believe the usual approach is that in general, if you're in a public space, you accept pictures may be taken of you. But it depends on the context. If you're a bystander in your city while tourists are fotographing places of interest for example, and you make it into the picture, then that will hardly be a problem in any practical legislation. Most legislations probably allow for pictures taken of you even without you being asked explicitly, as long as certain rights are not violated.
- lynx97 1y agoPeople with photographic memory can't just upload their memories to the Internet. So that comparison is pretty much worthless.
- volemo 1y agoArtists with photographic memory can. And in the modern world of computational photography and gen AI what even is the difference between a photo and drawing?
- v9v 1y agoThe difference is time, effort and scalability. There are many things that humans can do that society doesn't strictly regulate, because as human activities they are done in limited volumes. When it becomes possible to automate some of these activities at scale, different sorts of risks and consequences may become a part of the activity.
