D_goesprobablyhuge_KermitD_goesprobablyhugelove-i dont get it whats the point of this?
hes recording the ugly parts of our society, trying to raise awareness for what some goverments do or showing how people react if they where aware of beeing filmed and monitored. Basically it also puts pressure on government institutions like the NSA or KGB and will maybe make people revolt against surveillance and control in the end... atleast thats how I interpretate it, this dude is a hero

How is a classroom full of students one of the "ugly parts of our society"? As the professor in the video Moritz linked clearly states, it's a private classroom that he is intruding on and wasting peoples time and money. He's is quite simply being an asshole and then when asked anything he just says "huh?" At best he is a moron that thinks he's making an amazing observation of the human psyche and at worst he is a completely mislead idiot that has no care for anyones privacy or time and seems to show he has almost 0 respect for those he is filming. From what I've watched this man is in no way, shape or form, "a hero".

I understand the point about surveillance and how people don't care about security cameras and how often they're filmed. The huge difference here is that not only is he actively intruding on them, he himself has much more presence than a camera, in a box, in a corner of a room. That's my two cents at least.

Alright let me get this straight..

First of all I never said anything about that classroom beeing an ugly part of society. Maybe you misread what I said or youre turning my words around for some reason but I said: [...] trying to raise awareness for what some goverments do or showing how people react [...] I know that hes beeing quiet frankly an asshole by intruding peoples homes and I wouldnt like if somebody did that to me aswell.

Let me explain tho why I said he is a hero (in context of the video in OP and not of the rest posted in this thread, as my first post was in context of this aswell...):

At the moment, in the modern world almost everybody seems to film whoever he wants, when he wants and where he wants. Be it kids with cellphone cameras, TV-shows with normal or "hidden cameras" that are trying to get the best of people, Youtubers that are trying to set the next big trend by e.g. pranking the casual citizen, your friends that want to show you whats going on at some place with a video or photo.

The thing that these examples and the surveillance camera mans video have common, is that people are getting filmed without permission, for entertainment or their privacy is intruded.

The thing that differs the surveillance guys video from the rest is, that hes making the people painfully aware of beeing filmed by constantly going in their face with the camera. (At this point let me say, that I dont really like his videos,but still think the statement is overall good.)
People are constantly getting filmed if they like it or not and nobody seems to do anything about it, now this guy gives people the opportunity to act against surveillance by giving it a face and shows this way very clearly imo how much people hate getting recorded and thus I also said that it puts pressure on e.g. the NSA or the KGB in the end..

Maybe youre right and this guy is a complete moron thats trying to entertain people in a really odd and not particulary sane way, but I still think the video makes a good point.

holy shit lets calm down people its just some dude with a camera being ballsy who cares

There is very interesting toughts about security, privacy and also the perception of people regarding private / public space.

It remembered me a lot of work of Foucault, french thinker that i like a lot.

If you are offended by this video, because he could have disturbed those poor individuals while staring at them, there is something you dont understand in the world we live in.

I would be on your side if he specified his purpose on making the videos (maybe he did, I didn't see it). Something that noble, making the people realize that being spied on isn't cool, and we need to do something, would be amazing. However, all it appears to be is him getting shits and giggles pissing people off.

stop worrying about why and get what you want outta it. it could be a laugh, perhaps something deeper, but the discussion was geared more towards the fact that content like this was TAKEN DOWN, not so much the purpose of the videos to begin with.

doesnt THAT bother anyone? censorship is something people are overlooking lately, and right now its being abused in a manner that's only foreshadowing bigger problems. this guy didnt sign up as a partner, or take any money, but after a year of this stuff he finally gets his google account fucked.

this was the point and main issue of my post, you are getting nowhere bickering about WHY he does it.

It's been happening for years, the news media is powered by lazy sensationalism and diluting the facts away from real issues. Some people in the U.S. are literally more concerned with Dancing with the Stars or the Voice and shit like that rather than who they are voting for in the upcoming election. And the worst part is that its not getting any better.

a comment on one of his videos said that the reason why youtube removed every video from his channel was because none of the people he filmed consented to having their pictures taken and posted online.

Google has been sued many times by people who didnt want to be seen on Google Street View, for example, even if their faces were blurred.
please stop overthinking this, theres not a secret conspiracy behind that guys videos, he probably enjoys pissing people off

BonafideI'm not sure but I think security camera's serve a different purpose than being an asshole

Im 100% sure the guy is not a security camera, mainly because ive never seen a security camera following people around, entering private property and doing so again after being kicked out
A security camera serves a purpose, which is surveillance, is that what you would call whatever that guy is doing?

sorry 4 engrish, not my native language

Well he's not making a point what so ever, he's following people around with his camera and basically provoking/harassing them and then later put it on youtube for views, it's really sad imo.

I'm pretty sure if you'd ask someone on the street that you notice is purposely trying to film you in whatever way and you ask them nicely to turn it off and they don't you'd get upset too, like presented multiple times throughout his videos, especially the ones where he harasses people trying to make phone calls made me angry

He's forthright about it. He's not hiding it at all. It's significantly different to put people on camera without their knowledge.
He just puts a camera on and there is no regulation against using images for non-monetized media. Beyond the places with No Trespassing signs or anything like that, he's not really doing anything explicitly wrong.
There's something to be said about the reactions. People thinking their privacy is being invaded by somebody recording things while they stand behind a building covered in windows is silly as fuck.
There are people that are sports about it. They're silly, like that lady trying to turn a trick. And I'm sure he has a lot of footage that doesn't show people being asses about it.
It's ridiculous to think that this guy, just recording casually, is doing anything worse than what people do on world star or when they record shows and other things. Making the videos of mundane things seems to be the biggest issue. If he were recording a fight or (barring the weird mall arrest, which only the mall was mad about) a police incident, what have you, but their reactions are overblown. When they call the cops, what do you think happens? Absolutely nothing, he's asked to leave the premises and does. He's simply showing that private lives exist on public property (admittedly, his camera in cars is slightly different). It may be some asinine philosophical political garbage, but he makes a valid point.
They get abrasive with him, but there's nothing different with him recording and him just walking by in life. Just weird shit tbh.

He just puts a camera on and there is no regulation against using images for non-monetized media. Beyond the places with No Trespassing signs or anything like that, he's not really doing anything explicitly wrong.
There's something to be said about the reactions. People thinking their privacy is being invaded by somebody recording things while they stand behind a building covered in windows is silly as fuck.
There are people that are sports about it. They're silly, like that lady trying to turn a trick. And I'm sure he has a lot of footage that doesn't show people being asses about it.
It's ridiculous to think that this guy, just recording casually, is doing anything worse than what people do on world star or when they record shows and other things. Making the videos of mundane things seems to be the biggest issue. If he were recording a fight or (barring the weird mall arrest, which only the mall was mad about) a police incident, what have you, but their reactions are overblown. When they call the cops, what do you think happens? Absolutely nothing, he's asked to leave the premises and does. He's simply showing that private lives exist on public property (admittedly, his camera in cars is slightly different). It may be some asinine philosophical political garbage, but he makes a valid point.
They get abrasive with him, but there's nothing different with him recording and him just walking by in life. Just weird shit tbh.
