Why did you say "in the whole EU, I think?" It seemed to imply you grasped the context of the conversation already, but now the thread has taken what feels like a bizarre turn in a recursive direction.
You claim that it is not the case, so I would like you to point out which of these aspects is different in one of these countries. Do you claim it's not allowed to photograph others in public without their explicit consent in Czech Republic, for example?
No, read back on the thread. The person imagined a kind of law that limited public photography except for cases of preventing crime etc. I said it works like that in Switzerland. You said also in the rest of the EU, and I'm pointing out it does not work that way in the rest of the EU, because countries like Czechia are far more lax about public photography than Switzerland or even The Netherlands.
> People should clearly have the right to photograph in public
> should someone take someone else’s photograph they should need their consent to post the photo publicly
> I don’t think posting a photo on a private social media profile / group chat would count as public
That all sounds pretty similar to what I know from EU countries. Of course, there are also exceptions like photographing groups of people etc., but I don't think that goes the spirit of the balderdash's concept.
