Isn't the entire EU essentially a panopticon of cameras?




Panopticon for the State, not for you.

You have to justify the use of storing (or publishing, don't remember) content that includes PII. You must register the use of cameras and specify how long and why you store those recordings. Which usually states: For security purposes. You must include (at least my country) a sticker that says particular area under surveillance.

When there is collective photographing at school for children, we as parents must consent with a signature... which is a little bit annoying.

Having camera at home/yard is no issue.


Having camera at home/yard is no issue

Only if the camera is angled in such a way that it only sees your property. A door bell camera that can also see the public road in front your house for example is technically not allowed, even if most people ignore that rule.
