Different situation altogether.

I don’t really care whether you benefit in any way from my picture, published or not, for profit or not. If I don’t want you to have it, you don’t get it. What gives you the right to take my picture? Besides, why do you even want it if you’re not using it for something?

You can use public spaces all you like, you do not get to use my face however you like.

remove even more of our liberty to use public space (which is supposed to be ours).

I mean, your freedom to record in public ends where my freedom to not be recorded in public starts.

The way I understand it is that if anyone complains, you’d also have to prove that you didn’t record and the device has never had the ability to create a permanent record. Which seems difficult.
