"Racy Photos Were Often Shared at N.S.A., Snowden Says" - New York Times (July 20, 2014)
In 2021, to take a photo with a smartphone is to publish it, worldwide and forever.
(Of course I still take plenty of pictures of myself and friends. It's just not a clear line anymore what we get to control when social media and corporate/government leaks are everywhere)

When entering stores with security cameras, I wonder how many use facial recognition tools and then how that information is being used / aggregated / sold.
It would be good to know whether facial recognition is being used before entering a business.
on the other hand, if a photographer takes a photo of me, i don't care as long as the photo doesn't get published.
i take photos myself, and in general my attitude is that publishing one of my photos requires the permission of all subjects in it. when i put photos on my own website then i explicitly add a license that allows a subject in the photo to use it for their own purposes as they see fit.
so as a photographer i explicitly give control back to the subjects in the photo, because that is how i believe this should be handled.
