This was discussed in another thread, because a vlogger was filming at Disneyland and people were in the background, and someone who is in the know said that they can get away with it because if you are walking around a mall, Disneyland, or another public place, you don't have a "reasonable expectation of privacy". Whereas if you are a child at school, you do have a reasonable expectation of privacy-- hence why teachers can't post pictures of their kids on social media. So, as gross and rude as it is, it's "legal".ImShookHunnay wrote:I feel like most people just out & about might not think twice of someone doing video with their cell phone or small video camera. They probably don't even know they might be in the background of some YouTube video. Even though I watch alot of vlogs if I were out & saw someone doing video on their cell phone I probably wouldn't think that I'd end up on YouTube. Just my thinking! But you'd think with like the dance class & things like that, local people would have heard of them & know they YouTube? Who knows?Ireallydocare wrote:I keep forgetting to mention this... but how is it that we haven't heard of anyone going after them after posting videos with other people in it? When they blog from the malls, restaurants, parks, etc there are other people visible.
If any of my family appeared on a video plastered all over you tube or Facebook without my permission or compensation, they would be receiving a big old fat packet from my attorney.
As a classroom teacher, I have to have signed photo waivers on file before I can take a photo of any of my students, let alone post those on social media. ( for the record, I have NEVER posted any photos of my students on social media)
Oh wait, i just answered my own question- The rules don't apply to the Gardner's!
