Yelling "FALSE" doesn't make you correct.

You could use Google, ChatGPT, Claude, etc. to educate yourself about the law before you post.

Are you claiming I didn't inform myself? Can you provide some proof for this accusation?

  • Yes, you're claiming that it's illegal to record people in public in the Netherlands. This is incorrect.

    Under Article 139a of the Dutch Criminal Code, you are legally allowed to record any conversation in which you are a participant. You don't need to inform or obtain permission from another party.

    There's no law that forbids recording people in public spaces. GDPR and portrait rights claims may be implicated, but if Facebook wants to take the position that it removed this man's videos as an adjudication of claims those recorded never brought themselves, it begs the question: why is it selling its glasses and allowing them to record in the Netherlands in the first place?

      No I haven't, you should re-read what I actually wrote.
