Nobody wants to be filmed without their knowledge. Why does it make up so much of the content we watch?

      It’s just the norm to post the source, but in this case the source is on a shitty platform.

        Linking to the source should always be a requirement, but if that source is authwalled, then its best practice to provide a link for an alt frontend too

    My personal opinion is that concealed filming in public should be illegal. Open filming should be courteous, and if someone requests they not be filmed (and they’re not a public figure/government employee), the filmer should honor that.

    Otherwise, I see no problem with it, and I’ve been filmed in public a LOT.

      My opinion is that concealed filming be inadmissible in court without a “warrant” to allow its entry as evidence. Prosecutors have to state what they hope the concealed video will contain, and only that portion can be used.

      Too many missing people for me to agree entirely that concealed filming is completely bad.

      Problem is when you are in puic spaces you have no expectation of privacy. And are probably being filmed already.

    Yes, it’s in the public. Don’t expect privacy.

    It boils down to consent. You should always always get consent before taking an action that includes somebody else. Just because you can see me is not consent to record me. If you don’t have consent, don’t do it. It’s as simple as that.
