That whole "no expectation of privacy in public spaces" thing shouldn't be limitless. Ideally it should be closer to the number of people you expect to be present in that public space. People can take photos, record their day, and whatever else they want, but there should be limits around what they can do with the content.
I don't see any laws around this any time soon, but it just never made sense to me how you can be recorded just existing and then a few million people can see it and harass you about it.
At the very least, doxxing people like this should be illegal.
No expectation of privacy in public spaces is for use like photos and videos that just record you, not track you. This isn't no expectation of privacy, this is expect to be identified publicly, it's definitely a step above.
