I live in a neighborhood, when I walk the dogs, I care for, on public roadway & public grass areas in-front of everyone’s property, I am video recorded (without any control of my image, customers of the cams & the cams’ service providers have access to my image & there are websites broadcasting the videos submitted) by almost every single neighbor’s Cam(s) at each of their gates.

These type of privacy violation(s), that have become so everywhere in The USA, UK, China & Etc., are they problems in EU, Scandinavian Countries & Denmark?

In some countries (all EU under GDPR?), private CCTVs, including smart doorbells, are prohibited from filming beyond the private property.

I guess that in many countries it is not a priority for the police and that, unless reported, little is being done to enforce that rule.

Well, in The South Florida county, I live in, there is nothing one can do about it. I would surprise that if anywhere The USA, let alone Fl., the laws say it illegal. From my experiences, people seriously do not blink any eye.

They rank very low in privacy, just a few spots above UK or US.

It was also Denmark's turn recently as the rotating EU Council Presidency (July-December 2025) and their persistent push for mass surveilance, data retention and chat control has not helped their image.

That does not sound good, But Wikipedia is a horrible source! Information is regularly changed to BS, by the politicially Right! Do you have a Independent & such good source (like a ‘Free Speech’ programming, ‘The Freedom Side’ ‘Break Through News’ or more farther Independent) of the same information? Or even a Denmark Independent & such media outlet?

Wikipedia isn't a source. It's a summary as a starting point at best.

But the good thing is: they actually list sources.

I understand what you mean by they are not a source, but when they provide other more traditional (for lack of a better word) sources, they become a source of their own.
Outside of whistleblowing efforts they do, I hate what they do, See previous post.
