A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

That is not correct, you just need to follow the GDPR guidelines regarding data handling and legitimate purpose:

This ties into the "legitimate purpose" of the previous point: you are not forbidden from publishing photos "of the horizon", but an "aerial photo that goes up to the horizon" is likely to go way beyond any legitimate purpose, also showing your neighbor's property, any nearby public roads with people (aka: personal information) on them, along with any possible strategic infrastructure.
The review process is for strategic infrastructures, but in this case it's a double whammy, where you also need to comply with the GDPR.
As a private person, IMY's page states this requirement for setting up a surveillance camera.
But yeah, GDPR isn't very restrictive unless you're capturing personal information without a valid reason. Usually the police/myndighet permits are just to make sure that you have a valid reason.
