    This hypocrisy is not at all surprising. The modus operandi for these people has been rules for thee, but not for me for quite a while now.

      Feel free to point out the hypochrisy. I'll remind you that sharing a video you took of someone without their consent is not the same as recording them and keeping the video strictly for yourself

        Spoken as a man with no children or partner. Any women or child being recorded by a stranger will feel unsafe.

          Do you have a point beside saying something completely unrelated while making up stuff about me?

            No one cares if you are not uploading if they still feel unsafe. The differences are marginal to those that actually have a family or a partner. I'm still going to bet that my assumption is correct because no one with a family is going to argue against this.

              You are the only one arguing this since you made up an argument I haven't made

                This distinction does not matter if people feel unsafe regardless of "keeping it to yourself". It is still very creepy for a lot of people especially women and children. So what is the point of this "reminder"?

                  To point out that it's not hypochritical to treat differently a private recording and a published recording of a person that hasn't given you explicit consent

                    You have drawn an imaginary line on what will feel like an intrusion of privacy regardless. There is visibly hypocrisy by Meta employees.
