This is kind of a side issue but I think the time has come where videoing in public and using images of people without explicit consent should be outlawed. It used to be okay when the only medium was TV or movies and it was hard to distribute but now I think it has become a nuisance at best and dangerous at worst. The only thing I would make an exception for is actual journalists with some sort of credentials. But posting videos on social media of unwitting unconsenting people should be outlawed in the age where people with phones can upload videos in second.

In a world where absolutely everyone has a camera in their pocket I can’t see how you’d ever be able to enforce this.
Terrible argument, you should say because of generative AI where anybody can fabricate any image/video/audio of anyone in any context without their consent we urgently need new regulation of social media platforms to accommodate this profound change in our reality. Then make your argument.

You have no expectation of privacy in public spaces since forever, that is not a problem. Because nobody can photograph you stabbing someone and uploading it on social media without you actually stabbing someone. This is now different, because anyone now can make that photograph of you stabbing someone and post it.

That must be your argument.

And it must be on the social media side, because in X months some open model on GitHub is gonna make every watermark or cloud-based safety feature meaningless anyway.
