    Now if they can just notify you that some asshole is recording you on their cell phone instead of reading reddit.

    If you’re out in public, always assume you’re on someone’s camera. That isn’t really new either.

      I’ve never seen an online discussion about privacy without some version of this comment. Never gets old. Is there an Android keyboard with an apathy button that I’m unaware of?

        Apathy? Not at all. Its simply a matter of established law, in the USA anyway. I can’t speak to the legal systems of the other 140+ countries on planet Earth.

        Can you cite a law in the USA or in your own country where you have a right to privacy making photographing you simply standing in a public park an illegal act perpetrated by another person or government entity?
