I thought your comment was going the other way. The same generally is true of handheld cameras. Can you recall a situation where a stranger snapping a photo that had you in it caused a problem for you?
- probably_wrong 13y agoHere's such a case: a website [1] dedicated to taking pictures of girls in public transport without asking for permission before nor after [2]. Quoting from the opinion piece, > “Well, when I saw that I was in a posted photo, it scared me… and then afterwards, blah! But maybe there isn’t the need to post these photos online… I feel like I’m in a catalog for rapists or other sick people. It was quite shocking…” [1] http://www.argentinaindependent.com/life-style/thecity/chicas-bondi-the-modern-flaneur/ http://www.argentinaindependent.com/life-style/thecity/chica...

- jfoster 13y agoThere are cases, but they are not the norm. CCTV has been abused too, but abuses are also not the norm for CCTV, either.
- wpietri 13y agoI regularly see tagged photos of myself come up on Facebook and think, "Christ, that's annoying." Enough other people do that they have built a lot of special controls around tagging. I've also occasionally ended up in the newspaper in crowd shots. That can be fun or irritating, but either way it definitely matters to me.
