So if an young guy who you rated as attractive came up to you and started filming you , that wouldn't make you at all uncomfortable ?

Based on the number of vlogs I see on YouTube shot with DSLRs, I don't think many people care about being filmed.
I probably show up in hundreds of videos from bike commuting over the Brooklyn Bridge. It doesn't matter. I'm guessing 99.99% of the videos go unwatched anyway.

You ever talk to kids? They're well aware of privacy invasions and when to put away the camera. They're trained on proper social media etiquette.

genuine question: do you have evidence for that? This interests me

That's because they cut the ones who don't want to be filmed out.

It doesn't matter to you. And you know what, that it doesn't matter to you doesn't matter to me, so this gains nothing.

I don't know much about vlogging, but I assume that the controversy would increase views/shares/revenue, and as a result, you'd want to keep the controversial segments in.

As a young person (age of the CEO of snapchat), I say, yes they fucking can.

As a matter of experience, the bar for being young increases as one grews older.
26 is young for me now, even if that 26 yo person has a couple of children that think that their parents are as old as me.

Probably not, but that doesn't help the CEO's case on whether he has a handle on what the young'ins (I suppose you'd call them) think is creepy or not.

I'm surprised too, at that age you barely have any of your milk teeth left.

You've just triggered my midlife crisis again. I'm 28, which is halfway to the grave :(.
So, it's pretty brilliant for Snapchat to be making this sort of thing. Probably the devices to hit the market will be given to a very carefully curated set of people, and ubiquitous surveillance by camera-glasses will become fashionable.
