I agree it can be creepy. But where I live, and in the US, as well as many other countries, you have no expectation of privacy in public. That's why it's called public. It might feel right to want to impose some restrictions on public photography, but since there's absolutely no way to fairly draw a line, it's better to not impose limits at all.

    there's absolutely a way to draw a line. no smart glasses. even if there wasn't, no regulation for the sake of regulators being too dumb is the worst take possible.

    No smart glasses. Alright, then I would wear hidden camera's in the buttons of my shirt. The point I'm trying to make here, is that this is not a technological debate. It's about freedoms: having your freedoms means having to respect others' as well.

    Like respecting others' freedom to a reasonable degree of privacy.

    To draw a line between what is and isn’t reasonable is impossible.

    What fact about yourself are you least willing to share with strangers?

    If there is no way to tell if that is a reasonable question for me to ask, then by what metric do you decide whether or not to answer it? Does that metric act as a stand-in for "reasonableness" to you, and if so then how do you square it with your earlier insistence that drawing such a line is impossible? If not, why?
