100% good point respect/privacy comes when give it others too

Which conferences still have a no photo policy? Disappointed at the number of photos of the crowd in madeira.

I agree but do these conferences have no camera policies in place? If I went to a conference like this I would assume I would be photographed somewhere to be honest.

I've seen the Livestream, way too many crowd shots! This does not happens in Nostr conferences. Normalize green/orange suits 🍊

Maybe don’t expose yourself by going to a convention without taking privacy in your own hands. It’s your responsibility not others. Real cypherpunks don’t attend these n e ways.

I’m still angry about this photo taken of me arriving for breakfast. Never again will I be able to wear this outfit.

Just by going there and knowing they were filmed, they give consent. Is a public space, you are the only one responsible for your face. I didn't violate any privacy by screenshot a public video.

We have no expectation of privacy in public 💨

If you are on a beach and you show me your genitals... so you scream loud that I violate your privacy by looking at your genitals?

Should one go to a conference if they don't want to be known? You're in a public space. Wear a face covering. Expecting others to not take photos is absurd.

More conferences should hand out those "No Photos" badges.

💯!!!!

Yeah, was thinking this the whole time while watching Bitcoin Atlantis. Many close shots of the crowd. Stop this guys.

Everywhere, I go I'm being recorded by some type of camera connected to internet I usually wear privacy glasses, but I understand what you are noting

Good point - privacy is a right

So annoying when people do random recordings of the crowd. Including with use of drones.

True! But you can wear a mask to avoid this !

Has to be said. OFTEN AND LOUDLY

If you go out in public, that's on you 🤷‍♂️ No one's gonna accomodate your lack of opsec.

Bitcoiners don’t ask for permission.

Then make sure the saylor video isn’t posted at all then with that logic

might want to tell the live stream camera folks that, too

Just don’t film the crowd it’s quite simple. No one came to see crowd shots

I agree that the proper thing to do at events like these is for one to abstain from taking pictures or video without consent. That said, and as others have said, your personal opsec is on you.

Or at least use an ai filter that gives everyone laser-eyes that glow super hard so you can't recognise them xD

You should absolutely assume that if you wear a bitcoin cap in the mall that you're risking being recognized as a bitcoiner. Expecting people to look away to maintain your privacy is obviously ridiculous. Expecting people to refrain from documenting it, is obviously a gamble you're taking. Sure you can appeal to people to be classy, as you put it, and not index your face from a "private" (*cough* clearly practically public event despite the technicalities) Your opsec is obviously your responsibility and if you want to make sure you're not photographed at a private/public event either - hide your face - don't be there The equivalent of the request in your note is like asking the fed to not debase the usd, like, sure that would be great I guess, but im not counting on it.

Make me

Please! 🙏 View quoted note →

I would never expect privacy in a conference with thousands of people attending.

Good point, although it will never happen.

thank god for those red lanyards that make you invisible to all the live stream cameras

This is fucking rich

To be in public is to be on the internet.

I would go to meetups and conferences but I dont want to wear masks lol

never thought I'd disagree with @calle to defend Darth, but this shit is IN HD ON YOUTUBE.

100%

One of the reasons I don't attend such events.

It's not only crowd shots that are uncool, neither. :( Photos from @npub1e0z7...0txy 's bitcoin++ in Buenos Aires were also widely shared. Please, conference organizers, when hiring photographers or camera teams, tell them to be mindful of people who don't feel comfortable about this. We are a special crowd in that respect and as many said, they avoid conferences for this lack of consciousness.

If you know you are going to conferences then you should know cameras are going to be there, it’s also common sense man! We are all adults.

Im surprised they don't wear like a thin silicone mask or whatever o.o

You'd be surprised to learn the film crew had a drone recording the main stage audience all day at Bitcoin Atlantis.

So then it is to be considered a safety risk to be recognized that you own bitcoin? How long are we obligated to feel this way?

This is something the production teams in these conferences should take into account beforehand. They are filming people in the audience without their consent and this material is made public afterwards. Somebody is going to post it sooner or later.

call me naive, but why not?

💯💯💯💯💯💯

For sure Also pretty sure feds are there walking around with hidden cameras and then using facial rec

You can't really expect privacy in public, even in a private event. But there's a line between fighting now and fighting later. Whichever you choose, your face will be identified, catalogued, prosecuted, attacked and all of those other things authoritarian governments do to dissenters. It's really just a matter of time and resources.

We had made these for Nostrasia, but I’m sure it didn’t stop some people.

If you want privacy do what Satoshi did disappear man. I don’t agree with you! But we can agree to disagree 👍🏾🫡

Classy is not issuing commands to people. Doing it in all caps is even lower.

OPSEC MATTERS
