>> Asking guests to not take photos is such a faux pass that the couple has destroyed their reputation completely. The day is not about you. Just like people are free to exclude children from weddings, if they ask you not to take photos and you take umbrage at that, you need to take a hard look at yourself. It's. Not. About. You.

Almost every couple manage to arrange their wedding without any unusual rules and demands. So most people seem to have taken your advice at heart. My advice to you is trying to make your argument without tired and boring insults such as "take a hard look at yourself". People have different opinions and perspectives, you can only accept that. I've never made any strange rules for guests when I host, and I've politely…

You're free to dislike the request of the couple. I have no argument with that. People can be over the top. But I can't imagine skipping the wedding of someone I care about because I don't want to adhere to a simple request like not taking photos.

>The same guy did similar when his mom was on her death bed. Jesus Christ. I am so sorry for your loss and I am out of words. Just, I just want to be with ya in silence for a while. I am sorry that you had to go through this. I am really speechless

Are you expressing overdramatic sympathy for the loss of a stranger's wife's cousin's mother? No wonder that cousin films and streams everything.

I was definitely feeling something as I didn't think of the stranger's wife's cousin's mother? as dying but rather the stranger's wife dying and that cousin recording it.

But even now, yes you may have proved your point but death is so fucking weird and not talked about and sometimes I just get speechless, like someone just left the earth, let that sink in...

Honestly, I can somewhat both understand why he was live streaming now wanting more comments/everyone's final messages to go to her mother but at the same time, its definitely privacy invasive and might show their last moments and something of a behaviour I don't condone but I just don't know, now my opinion is mixed.

It is funny how insular and US centric many of the comments here are. In fact many countries do have legislation requiring consent in many scenarios for photographing or publishing photos. And it turns out that it is not actually very problematic. Wikimedia has some examples, but I'm sure it is not comprehensive: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Country_specific_...

Not really, other European countries also have the "don't participate if you don't want to be filmed" mentality. E.g. author says: > But then I’ve seen the same at (private) conference I've been to many such conferences, and they all make it very clear that all the photos can be taken and used in advertising by anyone, both in agreements as well as entrance banners. Same as in US.

In my country is like this, or was, I have not worked in that space for a long time.

An individual can record you on the street without problems.

A crew can't record you on the street for anything that will be aired on tv/cinema without your signing that you give your permision.

A Youtuber can record you on the street without problems.

i'm not going to address the central complaint, but what i think is weird about this version is the venue: everybody is essentially wearing a disguise, and you could consciously disguise yourself even more with no inconvenience except less of a chance of being hit in the face with a paint ball

...and how does that work when we complete the abolitionist struggle and no longer have a separate segment of society assigned to "police activity"?

Then we don't need to worry about documenting ICE activities anymore and still don't need to publish photos of random people without a good reason.

Is that true? There are many level of exercise of political, social, and economic power that happen in the commons. The camera is a primary tool of defense against injustice in this area.

Restrictions (especially with the force of law, but also social pressures) of the basic and deeply human capacity to capture photons and vibrations, and to make depictions of the results of that capture, are invariably used by the more powerful against the less powerful. eg: cops playing "copyrighted" material to prevent posting to youtube.

Much safer and fairer is to just give ourselves the same rights we might imagine are afforded to an alien, 4 light years away, looking through an extremely powerful telescope. Do you suggest that earth laws extend to this alien? Is she prohibited from posting the activities she can see of ours through her telescope?

> Since you're allergic to peanuts that means everybody should be banned from eating peanuts and we should stop growing them, right? My kid's school strictly bans peanut products due to at least one kid having a severe and potentially deadly allergy. It seems like a reasonable and necessary precautions to avoid harm or injury.

Which likely increases the risk of more people getting peanut allergies. https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/introducing-pe...

That link has nothing to do with the effects of withholding peanuts from children above 5 years old (school age children).

One of those is different from the others. And yes, it's very common for people to not go to an event if the hosts are making up strange demands.

How are they different? It appears you agree that if one does not like the rule they should not go. At the same time my impression is that you still want to go but dislike the rule.

I think its that the rules they agree with are okay, and everyone should agree with that. The one rule they disagree with isn't okay. We're left to guess which rule isn't like the others. I personally would find it very strange to be asked to show up in my birthday suit.

Yeah but both of those are clearly ineffective since both those people won their respective elections.

I get your point but even if elected it can sway public perception of character

Any negative perception of JD Vance is due to his recent behavior and statements, not from his awkward youth.

The thing that I find more frustrating than anything is photos of children. I'm not so bothered about myself. I have a young child - he's two and a half. Most people are considerate and ask if it's OK to take a photo - and I generally say yes if it's friends - but we were at a wedding recently and a staff member, total stranger, at the venue was laughing at him running around and asked if they could take a picture, a…

Does stroppy mean angry where you're from? Where's that?

Yep - was my wife's cousin's mother who died.

I didn't know the lady at all. I didn't even end up meeting the cousin, I heard about all this after the fact. My wife isn't broken up either - kind of distant family.
