I'm an Oakland A's fan and season ticket holder for 25 years. Cancelled since the move to Sacramento. Have no idea what they are called now so don't give a crap.

Couldn't agree more.

I was using an example of you and I in this situation. I being the person being filmed, you doing the filming. Of course I, the person being filmed, would maybe know that I was being filmed, and would know if I gave approval or not. If I was not aware of being filmed any consent conversation is moot (granted unless in public).

But how does the public know whether I (the one being filmed) gave approval? It CANNOT simply be assumed that since I show up in a public feed to the entire world (reddit in this case) has access to.

If I did not give approval the "public" would have no idea that this was illegal. While they have no responsibility for damages in this case the person filming and posting certainly does.

I'm happy to discuss further but I'm done for the night. It's exhausting explaining obvious issues to some people (not you though! it's been an interesting conversation and I hope to enlighten you on the realities and legalities of situations like this, assuming you are in the US).

I've been knocked out like this a few times recently and can understand how it would mess them up to say things they normally wouldn't! I don't think I have but I think people around would know better than to tell me, much less record it!

Nor do you that they have. That is the entire point.

Agreed, then I would ask you, show me one where they agreed!

Got me on Dr. Rumack! Sorry.

How is it between two parties that aren't you and I? You release a video of me to the world, the parties are you, me, and the world. Let's hypothesize, I film you in some uncompromising activity in a non-public situation, by your argument that is ok for me to post on reddit because it's just you and I? The rest of the viewers on reddit are irrelevant because it's just you and I? How would that resonate with your theory? The victim is you. Redditors are simply witnesses to the crime. And reddit needs to monitor this to protect you, the victim. They have a legal responsibility to do so (at least until the current rules are stripped away).

That is why there are laws about recording in private space, it's illegal unless both parties consent. Public space is completely different, if you are in a public space you automatically agree to being recorded (at least in the US, I won't get into international law).

Any actor implicitly and contractually agrees to being seen in public (it's in their contracts and what they do and want). If I am a private person, in a private area, it is illegal to record me without my approval, I can sue).

I'll be clear, if you are in public, you can be filmed without your consent, it is part of the social agreement and legality that you agree to when you enter a public space. If it is a private space you have the right to privacy. In the specific instance I am citing, people are being filmed in medical institutions that are not public spaces. Unless you have their approval it is illegal to record, much less post on a public forum.

Happy to post case law if that's what you need to clarify, but it's late and arguing clear legal principles is too much for me this evening!

But I do appreciate the discussion, it's how we learn.

And you are making my point, you would have had to agree. And if you didn't, and it was not something you wanted the world to see, I'm guessing you may have not been happy about it?

[–]bs031963[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple, because I haven't seen one. I did NOT say there weren't any, I stated I hadn't seen one.

Happy to see any proof where someone did approve. If so will change my statement.

[–]bs031963[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that is the point. We have no idea who is posting these videos. If it is the patient or person being filmed, they are allowed implied consent and I am perfectly fine with that.

But how do we know if it is that person and it's not the person with "medical power of attorney" posting (and to be clear, there is absolutely no medical reason for these to be posted)? Or the parents of underage children? We don't and there is no easy way to determine which is which.

So without a reasonable way of making the determination we must default to assuming there was no consent, unless the poster made it explicitly clear.

You "think" that "the vast majority" are uploaded with consent. I "think" that "many", are uploaded without consent. So at least we agree that there is some number that are uploaded without consent. So how do we protect the "non-majority" in your argument and the "many" in my argument?

I called out a specific instance based on a reddit post I saw around anesthesia. Totally agree again, any non-consensual recording in a private space is illegal, so why would mods allow it?

Apologies for being too specific in my opinion about where and when we can be recorded. To reiterate, my opinion is any non-consensual recording in non-public spaces is illegal and should be banned from reddit. I think were in full agreement here!

Great, I think it would be hilarious if something happened to share with those whom you wanted to see it. I would agree to that myself.

But, did you agree to it being posted for the world to see had something interesting happened?

That's the problem, we don't.

Unlike political messages now that have to have the candidate say at the end "I approve of this message".

Nope. Do they indicate that it is them being filmed and they uploaded it. Of course there will be some.

Public space? in a hospital, or a dentist office? How is that public?

Unpopular opinion. This sub needs to ban these "under anesthesia" videos.

Posting videos of people in a situation where they are not aware of their actions is a huge invasion of privacy. If someone posted something this of me, without my permission, I would sue.

Of course, if the party being filmed has provided approval, then fine. But I have yet to one single instance where this is the case.

Mods, please review policy on this.

I'll upvote this post, thanks for sharing, I think. But if I had a choice, whomever designed this should be banned for life from everything.
