>>3711894You are wrong. German laws are among the toughest when it comes to protection of people's image, but in most european countries it is similar. I'll give you my country's example: in Spain it is regulated by our data protection law, specifically:
>Ley Orgánica 3/2018, de 5 de diciembre, de Protección de Datos Personales y garantía de los derechos digitaleswhich is the law our government created to comply with the european regulations in that matter, which apply to all members of the EU and set the minimum standard, which is:
>(EU) 2016/679What it says is that taking pictures in public is allowed, but it isn't to upload it to social media or using it for commercial purposes without all subjects' consent. That means technically you can go out, shoot street photography and print a book for yourself, but if you share it here, on instagram or sell copies of that book you are breaking the law.
Then again, in most countries people don't give a shit, germany is one of the few exceptions in which people are pretty uptight with it, but even there if you don't act like an autist you get away with it without people complaining.
