@alatartheblue@polymaths.social We are talking about a clearly unacceptable use of covertly recording video. But, the law has to also consider the less obvious cases. And these less obvious cases are protected by the 1st Amendment. There must be a balance between: ▪️ reasonable privacy expectations ▪️ public right to know ▪️ individual publicity rights 2/n

@alatartheblue@polymaths.social And right now, in the USA, these trickier questions are mostly handled by individual states. Below is a link to a webpage addressing a wide variety of situations involving audio & video recording. This helps us consider the wide-range of issues involved here. There are *legitimate* uses -- which are very different from how this #Meta product is used by bad actors. This is a complex situation and Meta knew, or should have known, that it would be irresponsible to release this product at this time.
