Ask HN: Would you support a law banning filming people in public?

3•dfps•1h ago
(Except for purposes of newsworthy events)

Or do you think people should be allowed to just film anyone and everyone and upload it to YouTube, have everyone's faces scanned, etc? As currently in most places.

Yes I would. Furthermore, I'd support banning all cameras of all types (excluding cctv security cameras) anywhere in public.
bigyabai•46m ago
It would be impossible to enforce, and create an inevitable purity spiral when security cameras and the like get involved.

So I'd put myself down for a no, but I'd support a ban on government-owned dragnet cameras a-la Flock.

dfps•21m ago
It wouldn't be impossible to enforce, but like all laws it is impossible to enforce 100%, while they have an effect and provide at least government and ethical support and remedy for those affected.

Also it would allow people to sue YouTube creators who do so, whereas currently there is no recourse because YouTube can just ignore complaints.
