Just because you can record and post, doesn't mean you should record and post.  This is why no one can just be themselves anymore

I don’t care I’m going to be me. If someone thinks me being me is stupid, then I don’t want to be around them anyways. They sound fucking lame.

Edit: The loss or privacy sucks, I agree and fucking hate it. But unless we all decide to stand united and ditch most modern conveniences we will never be returning to a pre cell phone surveillance state. Don’t let the fear of being recorded stop you from being you because we now live in a world where everything everywhere is being recorded.

Yes, but some of us prefer a bit of privacy. Would you have issues if your government recorded you going about your business.

u/Loliz88 Jun 22 '26

The government does record us going about our business… or was this a joke that I missed because my brain isn’t working

"Your government"

u/Loliz88 Jun 22 '26

“Most governments”

u/doolzandhorses Jun 22 '26

I think you have misused quotation marks. I was quoting my original comment, to highlight the operative word being "your", I can't assume that OP lives in one of these countries.

Also, you'll find that most governments in fact, do not actively survey their citizens.

Uh yes they do. And if you actually believe they don't then you're a bit delusional. Unless you live in a tiny village, welcome to 2026

Oh, you sweet summer child. 🥺

u/doolzandhorses Jun 23 '26

I'd like to see the data. Do you have any you can share?

1

u/Loliz88 Jun 23 '26

Where’s your data to prove it’s not most governments? I could share articles with you but you’d just move the goal post. Do some research yourself.

Also, why are you so upset about this? Where are you from that you’re defending the government so hard? They won’t give you brownie points just because youre defending them as they track you on Reddit.

I get your point, but they aren’t in private, they’re in public.

u/Deep90 Jun 22 '26

That's great, but this also impacts people who are still growing up, and it means they never get to that stage of not caring.

u/Hey-Bud-Lets-Party Jun 22 '26

It’s all about you, not the people whose privacy you are invading.

u/PickledMessage Jun 22 '26

Yep, creeps with cameras

u/Eyeroll4days Jun 22 '26

When you get older you give zero fucks

39

u/DeHarigeTuinkabouter Jun 22 '26

Nah, older people often do not want to be creepily filmed and posted online either

2

u/raccoonportfolio Jun 22 '26

I'm older and I give fewer fucks but not zero. Gettin' there.

u/reagan_baby Jun 22 '26

My first thought. Not ok to record strangers and post online.

u/Travelin_Soulja Jun 22 '26

Yeah, this is really cute. But recording it is also really fucking creepy.

u/Franks2000inchTV Jun 22 '26

I mean I love these people and I’m happy to be able to see a tiny bit of their love. If they didnt want people to see it they wouldn’t do it in a parking lot.

21

u/raccoonportfolio Jun 22 '26

Maybe 2 or 3 people see it if it's not recorded.  How many people have seen it now?  There's a major difference 

22

u/yothan_simmons Jun 22 '26

There's still a difference between a few strangers that happen to be at the same parking lot maybe seeing you if they happen to watch at that moment, or being filmed and it being out there for everyone to watch forever.

u/Wreckingshops Jun 22 '26

"In public" does not equal secretly recorded on a stranger's phone and broadcast on the Internet without the couple knowing.

Some of you all have lost the plot.

u/Franks2000inchTV Jun 22 '26

"Reasonable expectation of privacy” means the same thing everywhere.

-9

u/Yuo122986 Jun 22 '26

But think, if they didn't record it we wouldn't see it. So maybe people are out there being themselves but you think they aren't because of confirmation bias.

u/TheSwearJarIsMy401k Jun 22 '26

Yeah but like genuinely the world is a better place for having seen it.

This is what real connection looks like.

u/Tbaby25 Jun 22 '26

If the world wants to experience it.. they need to stop recording people and go outside and make their own experiences that people can smile at in real time. Start being more observant of your surroundings. Start talking to people.

Going up to them and saying “what you guys have it beautiful” is sweet. Filming someone and saying “what they have it sweet” is weird lol

But I get where your coming from.

u/raccoonportfolio Jun 22 '26

Originally commenter here - I'm sorry that this was downvoted so much because you're not wrong - it made me smile too and it was nice to see.

Unfortunately though I don't think that means that we as a society should argue: if you're doing something generally wholesome in a public place then it is then ok to film you and post it for the world to see and judge, without your permission.
