No.


Then why blur faces in some published photos / video footage? I live in the UK, could be a different legal situation here...


In the U.S., you might see blurred faces on a reality TV show because the show is making money. In that instance, a signed release or contract would be needed to show people's faces.

But an individual posting a photo in public for not-for-profit uses is protected under the 1st Amendment.


Definitely different in the US.

I don't approve of what she did, but there was nothing illegal about it.
