Comment on Volunteering enshittification
bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 3 days agoWithout this waiver, getting photos and video would be a pain in the ass and take up some of every volunteer’s time.
No. OP stated the solution: If they want to take a photo, all they need to do is to announce that, ask everyone who doesn’t want their picture taken to leave for a moment, wait 10 seconds, and then take the photo. This takes 30 seconds of time. And you’re comparing that to the loss of not having a full worker work for them?

That’s completely unrealistic in most situations and would never take a matter of seconds. Also, it would make every photo stages. All that to cater to one person’s preferences is not reasonable.

(Professional) photographers do exactly that in many countries that have decent law around people’s privacy.
Usually they ask before they start shooting. So the result is not staged. And they respect people’s answers, because they could get in trouble otherwise. It’s also usually about faces, so they can still shoot the objectors from other angles.
So - since all this is happening in reality, it is not unrealistic.

Very few countries require consent in public and some that do, like France, make exceptions for art and other non-commercial photos.
But, we’re not talking about some commercial photographer taking photos in public. We’re talking about an NGO who wants to snap photos anytime while people are doing their work. It’s absurd to think they can stop everyone every time to get some snaps.
Trust me it’s not worth having that one or two people working with their special requirements. A blanket waiver saves tons of time and hassle.

Yeah exactly, why did you even bring it up.
So you think that’s normal (whether one gets paid for the work or not doesn’t come into it). Gotcha.
