Wait, wait. So it's a right to record, but if I go out and start recording stuff I get called out as privacy violator? So which way is it?

(I'm pro-recording here btw.)

The former, and strictly so. This version of "privacy" can't survive in a free society I don't think.

That's why I think the European concept of "right to be forgotten" is deeply flawed. I understand that they're trying to protect people from being negatively judged using outdated information, but the problem lies in the judgement, not the information. A better alternative would be "right to be not given a damn about".
