We used to worry about the government and big companies invading our privacy, but now it’s often just regular people filming everything for likes from strangers. Somewhere along the way, we started forgetting how important it is to respect each other’s right to privacy, and now almost everything, whether good, bad, or deeply personal, gets turned into content. I’ve seen videos of people at their lowest, crying, hurt, or unconscious, and instead of someone stepping in to help, there’s just a phone recording. I know most people don’t mean harm, but I don’t think this should feel normal.

I think the real point to be made here is that your privacy isn’t being taken away, you’re giving it away
It’s the government and large corporations.
Nice try though Bezos
I don’t completely disagree with the sentiment but I think privacy has nothing to do with it.
Maybe compassion has vanished.
But I don’t expect privacy if I’m having a meltdown in a public place.

That is helping. Getting video evidence of the incident will help the victim more than some he said-she said after. The criminal could’ve gotten away with it if it weren’t for video evidence.
We’ve never had privacy in public. We’ve had anonymity.
