I recently told off a tourist guy that was filming in public and the frame included my face and my boyfriends without our permission. I approached them quite angrily (while this guy is still filming) and told him in no discreet manner to stop filming people without their permission. He didn’t understand and just laughed like I’m a crazy person.
Have you had this happen? Is there a more effective manner to go about it?

Try not to be angry and be more discreet.
call the police, while you accidentally being in frame is one thing, intentionally taking your picture even in public is a violation of the public nuissance act
also see if you can find them and do a complaint to their platform to get them demonitized
I heard somewhere you can play Disney music or something and it can be copyright infringement
IRL streaming has started to blow up here, it started during COVID, but now it’s getting bigger. A lot of Japanese people do it as well, so I don’t imagine it’ll die down at all.
It’s one thing if they’re recording you directly, but if the subject is the background, an you walk through it, also being a public place…well you’re out of luck.
If I take a photo of a shrine, you walk into my photo, that’s on you, not me, the same rules apply to this.
I agree with you, people like that are irritating and obnoxious. You just have to be careful with getting pissed at them during their streaming. That asshole could edit shit and then post it on Twitter or Reddit saying something like “angry Karen attacked me while I was looking at temples in Tokyo” or some shit. Then all of the gullible morons will be unleashed from their parents’ suburban basements.
