Apparently, it's a "bad take" I share with a great many people.

It's true that I have no "expectation of privacy in public", but I do have an expectation not to be a prop in someone's content production hustle. If you can't tell the difference I'm not really sure I can help you.

Yeah, lots of people have bad takes on lots of stuff. Are you new to this planet?

I'm merely pointing out that saying someone's opinion is a bad take is meaningless. "I disagree with your opinion".

That's a good point and I agree but I feel like bringing it up in the first place hurt the rest of your argument

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 days ago

I don't care?

Want and have are different things.

You might want that, but it isn’t reality. In reality, you do not have any kind of “don’t record me” rights in public outside of the extremes like upskirts.

I'm kind of astonished that you don't seem to be able to discern between laws, rights, and societal expectations. There's nuance here that seems to be completely lost on you.

You're correct that recording people in public is legal. However, while most people don't mind being recorded for surveillance / security purposes, they sure as fuck do mind being recorded as content for someone's tiktok following.

Like any anti-social behavior, most people might just ignore you, some people will tell you to knock it off, but sooner or later you'll encounter someone who doesn't give a fuck and they'll retaliate, perhaps violently. This shouldn't be surprising.

Is it "right" or lawful to assault someone who is recording you? Of course not, but it's a manifestation for society's distaste for this shit.

Lol, what you got 7 upvotes there? WOOOOOWW

I hate this phoney "everyone's on my side" arguments.

Saying someone's opinion is a "bad take" is just another "everyone's on my side" argument.
