IA. I know there’s no expectation of privacy in public but the technology has changed and I think the rules haven’t kept pace. All the filming with people caught in the background but also taking pictures and videos of people and posting them. Someone took a video from their apartment window of pre-teens play fighting and posted it saying “if this were my son, I’d want to know…” It’s just too much, we can’t exist anymore. We were all taught 1984 in class and yet the messages escaped so many.

If you want to be really petty, copyright your likeness and imagery; you could win some easy settlements that way if you ask nicely first and they dont take it doqn. You can say "my repuation has been damaged being featured in such a vulgar video, argue emotional damage", im half joking but seriously you probably could win a suit

There is no expectation of privacy in public, and you’d lose any lawsuit. Anyone is allowed to record you in public and there is nothing you can do to stop it.

The worst is when friends, a couple or two family members are sitting next to each other filming the same damn thing. Can’t one of you watch and the other film? It’s so sad c

That's worse behavior than the filming. Your DH is gross.

I got into a fender bender in a parking lot this week, no damage to either car, and a woman all the way across the parking lot started filming us. Walked right over, phone up in the air aimed at us. Wanting some kind of altercation to happen or something.

You can't leave your house anymore without an expectation of being filmed.

Wow, that’s weird and bad. How old was she? I hope the answer is 16. Did you and the other driver address her at all or just ignore?

Not 16 at all. And not "influencer-ish" at all either. She was probably late 40s, and ... I don't know how to put this ... scraggly looking? Like someone you'd find in Walmart at 10pm. I didn't talk to her. The other driver and I agreed there was no damage and I got in my car and left as she was walking towards us. Then in my rearview mirror I could see her talking to the guy from the other car. It was weird.

I live in Logan circle and have noticed this! Yes it’s weird

My DH farts near them, loudly.

I don't notice it, OP. Do you live in Influencer Central or are you particularly sensitive?

Getting very annoyed with all the influencers that hijack yoga classes, run clubs, church and other public places to film other people. Same with the kids making TikTok’s on the metro with other people in the background. I could care less if they’re like in the back of class and just film themselves but not everyone wants to be recorded constantly when they’re living their lives. Feel like this is new in the last two years or so - I don’t have a problem being posted on socials at a wedding or formal event but I feel like recording random strangers and their kids is so overstepping
