The END of Street Photography? Privacy Laws Are Strict (Worldwide)

Despite the drama in many debates and even in some parts of this video, I'm not entirely sure this can be the end of Street Photography... Or is it? Everyone is focused on AI and everything that auto-generated images can do to disrupt the industry. But at a much higher level, governments are introducing or updating their privacy laws, tightening them to the point that Street Photography may become completely illegal. And in some countries, this is already the case. And as I mentioned at the very beginning, a photo almost got me arrested in Spain not too long ago.
But why? And what do these laws enforce? And is there a way to operate within these restrictions? Or should we abandon our craft in the name of a greater social good?

I hope this will generate some discussion on this channel and I'll be happy to have this conversation with you. Let's talk.
