@LorenzoAncora@ieji.de Here in the U.S., there is no right to privacy in public spaces. On private property, there are some restrictions, but I can legally take pictures of people or buildings if they are visible from a public space, like a sidewalk or street. Even inside privately owned buildings, there is very little restriction if it is considered a public accommodation (i.e. open to the public). Other countries are more restrictive than the US, but this seems unlikely or an oversimplification.

@LorenzoAncora@ieji.de I would rather believe the official information from the government 🤷♀️

@LorenzoAncora@ieji.de That said, what is legal is not always wise. I volunteer for our local zoo, which is in a county park. Legally, I can take pictures of anyone, but if there is any question, I prefer to ask permission rather than risk a confrontation.

@LorenzoAncora@ieji.de it kinda seems like this would be more helpful for everybody; seems problematic to target this at asylum seekers.
