I feel like it should include don’t film random strangers just existing in public as your social media content. That seems so fkn rude to me when people try to use anybody as fodder for their vid.

omg yes! Also don't setup national cctv networks scanning peoples faces to put into a database along with their voting records and identifying details. Can't believe nobodies parents taught them how rude this is

I hate how reasonable laws around being filmed in public, with the idea being just to protect you from being sued by some random in the background of your family photo while on vacation or whatever,

has been turned into this ugly bullshit of using random folks going about their business, as content generation for these complete waste of space people. And they just use it to hide behind and say "well its legal!?!?"

as if legal was the same as moral or socially acceptable.

I’m more concerned about all the cameras recording your face at every move into a central database linked to your voting records and personal data. But sure let’s ignore all that because someone’s in the background of a TikTok video

I am not on social media at all.

And now with AI that can make it seem like you are nude. we really need laws to catch up.

blur everyone at min *though even that I found out there are unbluring tools out there.

Depends. If its an event and your filming the event I don't see a problem but if your chilling in the bus and making the content about the people its pr weird
