Yes! For the fun and privacy!

At least in the US there is no expectation of privacy in public.

Doesn't mean you have to be a dick about it tho..

[–] doingless@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I agree. Honestly I'd be cool with instituting privacy laws if businesses and government had to follow them too.

Enough with the over reach ov government please...they already have their gubby little shit covered hands in too much . Over regulation just ruins shit.

I'm good with public filming in our current world where the government tracks everything we do. It's the only hope for a shred of transparency and accountability. I'd only be okay with restrictions on public filming if those restrictions are also applied to all of the powers that be as well.

Good thing other countries exist where everyone needs consent to process your data - processing such as by making you the center of a photo.

Does your government extend such kindness? Businesses?

[–] yetAnotherUser@feddit.de 2 points 8 months ago

Yes, although collecting some data doesn't need explicit consent, such as security cameras in a store whose footage is deleted after two days- because that's a legitimate interest.

In such a case, you only need to be informed that your data is collected, for example via a sign.

Because of this, security cameras must only record your private property. After all, if you recorded the street in front of your property as well, you couldn't possibly inform people passing by of your data collection and someone disagreeing with it should still be able to use public land.

That's why there are cookie banners everywhere. You need consent to process data.
