However, the article is referring to situations where people are being video recorded, without their knowledge, as the main focus of the video.
In this case, it should be treated like any TV or movie set, where consent must be given.
I see it as video recording for commercial use, so permits should also be required by these social media degenerates, before a single frame is captured.

Annoyed_🦀 🏅 ( @Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc ) English6•23 days agoCurrent age is so, so weird. A few years back someone got filmed having a very quiet lunar new year dinner at a restaurant and posted on reddit, which to that family might be a very normal thing, yet to the one that filming and a lot of netizens, it’s weird. The comment section is very unkind to that family and this honestly made me slowly and quietly quitting reddit. I’m sure there’s a lot more example in cringe tok.

If you tried to film like that nowadays, people would get really hostile.
apis ( @apis@beehaw.org ) English2•21 days agoTrue, though curiously if you appear with a big camera people respond far better than to a phone camera, despite the familiarity of the latter.
apis ( @apis@beehaw.org ) English2•21 days agoIf they’re incidental to some other thing you are filming, probably ok but consider blurring their faces prior to publication.
If filming as evidence, consider not uploading or sharing unless you have exhausted other avenues of getting that evidence to the relevant people.

Besides, we’re recorded on cameras dozens of times a day almost everywhere
