Yeah so um part of being in public is being subject to other people. In addition to this you’re subject to what people want to do in public, like record or anything of the sort. If you don’t want to be recorded live on your little hobbit hole and never go outside. You also sound like a Karen btw.

Sometimes it makes me feel like a weirdo if I’m taking pictures in public. I try to not be weird if I do photography but I feel like it’s kinda inevitable

No literally and if you ask them to stop your treated like your paranoid and crazy for… not wanting a stranger to take a video of you? I don’t know why they’re recording me, I don’t know where they’ll post it or what they’ll say about me, I just want to live my life without this weird invasion of privacy. “It’s in public nothing is private” there will always be some expectation of privacy. You wear clothes in public. Some people wear masks SO THAT people don’t take videos of them-

No expectation of privacy in public btw. Otherwise dashcams or doorbell cameras would be illegal to sell

No because the people who are so quick to shove a camera in your face without your permission are the first people to lose their shit when someone does it to them

People like the OP are going to have a really hard life. There’s pretty much NO expectation of privacy in public sooooo maybe grow up and get over it or enjoy being a miserable Karen the rest of your life while most of us enjoy ours.

Freedom of press and speech it would fall under no? Saying “shouldnt” could be dangerous if it was enforced and recording illegal

There’s states where it’s illegal. But it’s weird to just video someone and post them online without them knowing Like an invasion of privacy

I agree if thats what theyre doing but whos enforcing that with an already broken system? Also there is no expectation of privacy outside of your home Im pretty sure thats a federal standard for all US citizens

Which is real sad to me. We as human beings weren’t made to be so perceived. Makes you feel you have to be just so all the time. Making cringe culture a thing

-there’s screen protectors so that people can’t look over your shoulder and see what your looking at. Privacy doesn’t suddenly fly out of the window once you step outside. It’s ok to want as much privacy as you can have in a public space.

Just understand that they have a right to do that and you cannot stop them from doing stuff like that in public.

OP 6d

I understand how invasive this can but saying “human beings weren’t made to be perceived” is insane - we’re social animals! Now there’s an argument fs about how disabling it can be for someone to go viral for example when they didn’t want that but people and fs have adapted to be perceived (at an appropriate scale) think about villages, clans, tribes - they were all in commune with each other for survival (denoting that we are definitely able to handle being perceived) Now of course privacy

Is important but also such individualistic dogma is bad socially/ culturally (we’re in the midst of a loneliness epidemic) and historically was key to further disenfranchise conquered people (I know this sounds like oh this is so woke cause im bring up colonialism but all this is all in conversation with each other)

They are probably talking about one party consent vs all party consent for recording audio/video in different states

Idk man, just because something is legal doesn’t mean it’s not awful and creepy. We had a guy customer that would regularly try and come in to hide in the clothes and video record lady employees. It’s…legal, sure. But I don’t know why folks defend recording people without consent with ‘it’s legal’ as if that makes it okay? I mean, cheating on your partner is also legal in most places, too, but it’s still a little sus if someone pops in to say, “just ignore them, they are being lawful”. Yk?

I don’t think recording folks that don’t consent makes for a more social society or promotes unfortunately - in fact, I think it’s makes a community more low-trust. Also, saying ‘recording people without their consent is uncool and weird’ isn’t a call to make it illegal? This actually discourages folks from going out more. I just get confused by the bringing up ‘it’s legal, though’ as a defense to someone saying it’s creepy in weird, ig?

Truly. It’s like if “I don’t want people to try to converse with me out of nowhere” was responded to with “ok well too bad. Talking with people is legal. Are you saying it should be illegal to have a conversation??? Stop being a Karen and grow up” like bro it’s not about legality it’s literally just boundaries. Ask someone before recording them/if they ask you to stop you stop! It’s that simple!!!
