    Unhinged behaviour. I’m not going to smash a kids phone because i see them recording a video on the train and I’m in it.

      Then you’re a part of the problem.

      Billionaires won’t protect our privacy. The Law and the government won’t protect our privacy because they’re bought by the billionaires. So it’s up to each of us. If we want our privacy and our right to not have our images used in some server without our consent, it’s up to us to smash the fucking things whenever we see it happening. Make the fuckers afraid to pull them out in public and make the sales tank.

      You know as well as I do that the intended customer for these is influencer creeps with no regard for anyone’s privacy; so fuck 'em.

      I’m so sick of people who are content to give away their privacy in exchange for every shiny new fucking toy.

        Unless you are a mind reader, know the guy personally, or was there, there is no evidence this guy is creeping. Even if the guy is from a village that is inhabited only be creeps and one rapist. And the rapist is the most virtuous one in the village.

        For fuck laden arguments sake, lets say he is (a creep). Lets use the US legal term, asshole. Lets say the guy is an asshole and he just so happens to be in a public area in a dangerous situation in a fucked up society. Then would defend his right to make recording in that situation.

        Would like to say wouldn’t live in such a society, but we don’t get to choose where we were born.

        Its not reasonable to expect public spaces to have 0 photography or video capture. I’m sorry but you’re just out of touch here.

            Its unlikely they would film ME for the content. It would likely be that something else is the focus and I’m in the background. This doesnt invade my privacy as I’m expecting to be in public.

            If someone was directly in my face filming my actions I wouldnt feel like my privacy had been violated I’d feel like I had encountered an asshole. Which happens sometimes when you leave your house and have to be among the general public.
