alt Hacker News> An absolute privacy nightmare especially in places like Switzerland or Germany where recording people (subject focus) even in public is not permitted
That's the prime example of a law that can't be enforced and thus shouldn't exist. You go in town, you can be recorded inadvertantly, as long as it's not some creep stalking you, I say it's fine.

It can and is enforced. Again it's if the person is the focus of your video.
If you post a video online of someone's worst day which you decided to film for entertainment, they can legally go after you.
Legal frameworks often struggle to keep pace with technology, leading to complex issues. In regions that prioritize privacy, finding the right balance between innovation and individual rights can be particularly difficult.
