Does the author really expect people to log in to instagram in order to see a post he is sharing?
I don’t get why the author wasn’t able to screenshot the post.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.
Its always OK to film the police (and other public servants)
If they’re allowed to film us with security cameras every 10 feet, we shouldn’t make criminals out of people using their phones to film in public or semi-public (like a grocery store) places.
In Germany there are laws in place which forbid filming or taking pictures of others without their consent. It’s called the “Right to your own picture”. There are exceptions, for example when you take a picture of a famous building with hundreds of people in front of it.
ITT people quoting US law as a universal ethical standard
legal ≠ ethical
Get outta here with your “no expectation of privacy in public”, that’s a legal concept and has nothing to do with the question. Moreover, that’s only the law in the US, not everywhere
Personally, i only approve if you’re filming a crime (counting harassment here). If someone’s going about their day, even if they’re making a scene or wearing something crazy or what have you, I don’t really think filming them without their knowledge is cool, especially if you’re going to post it on the internet.
Problem is when you are in puic spaces you have no expectation of privacy. And are probably being filmed already.
Security cameras are everywhere in and around buildings/homes. Dash cams are pretty common these days and some even record when the car is off and alone. Someone is filming a vlog or some snap/insta/tiktok clip in the area.
I understand that, but it doesn’t mean I need to respect or approve of anybody who does film people in public. Sitting next to a stranger on an otherwise empty bus isn’t illegal either, but that doesn’t mean the person isn’t still a creep for doing it. And I am considering being the subject of a film as different from happening to pass by a camera frame, or being seen by a security camera.
Yes, it’s in the public. Don’t expect privacy.
Yes. If you’re on public property, filming is fair game unless you’re harassing a person.
I’ve asked a Dutch police officer and she said I can record someone if I feel threatened, and send it to them. But I can’t upload it to social media.
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.
No unless they’re doing something unethical
