While this is true, it's important to understand that you have already given that right by just being out in public. If you can be viewed by the eyes of people, in a public place, then they can photograph you.
The difference is that if you can be obviously identified in the image and it is used commercially, you should be asked for a release or permission generally.
It's a grey area in the context of scraping for AI, not because permission hasn't been given, but because the technology is new and the laws haven't been written yet.
The changes will happen but it takes time, particularly with a complex issue like this.
Except it's not because these are photos people are choosing to post.
as someone who crossed a tourist hotspot to get to the cantina for some years, my experience can't confirm your statement.
The problem there is someone taking photos of you without your consent, not AI analyzing the photos
I am a privacy advocate but I will have to disagree with you. There is no such thing as privacy on public places , or in the public internet. If you upload a picture to the internet publicly then it is publicly available to everyone.
