Yes. I was describing the best case scenario. Which is that only the people who take images have access to them. They will still publish a small number of them of course, like people already do with normal cameras.

This is opposed to the worse case scenario where all images are automatically uploaded to a central database. If this is going to happen, that central database really needs to be encrypted such that only the user can access the images, not even the company that controls the database.



Yeah, but the point I was making, and that you missed, was that some fraction of people will voluntarily publish. They will set their photo album, or video feed, publicly readable. Because they want to.

If that's a large percentage of people, it's going to be hard to avoid being on somebody else's camera, even if you don't have your own.


I didn't miss it. I just thought it was obvious enough it didn't need to be mentioned.
