A provocative video I may add. I don't think Talkgraphics is a proper place for this kind of content. Next to this, one could post some political, religious or discriminating videos. Would they be just a videos too?

Thank you.

As with any forum on the web, it's the usually the propensity of some members who initiate arguments to defend their own opinions which injects the potential for retaliation (baiting) who really determine whether a thread is turned into a heated debate or not.
This thread thus far has been civil, it's very easy to keep it that way, we're all friends here at TG and everyone has the option not to participate in a discussion.

The thread was posted as a curious current view about life at street level for a form of 'graphics' (photography) which ordinary people like us have enjoyed for decades. A study of human beings and of their interactions with each other and the environment.....It's anthropology 2010.

That makes sense.

I spoke with my 85 year old anthropologist father on the phone just this afternoon. (Seriously ... a PhD with three masters degrees.) Communication is complex, even in person, he reminded me. Effectively communicating in text, and in the company of internet (his emphasis) participants, requires intentional language skills and a genuine personal investment. I will do better in the future. I promise.

Terrorist Act should not be 'used to stop ordinary people taking photos or to curtail legitimate journalistic activity'.

As far as I understand, in the originally posted video no one was trying to stop ordinary people from taking pictures. Or even video.

The posted video was a symptom was it not?

Well, if you are forced to provide your details to get a ticket on a plane, is it a symptom of someone trying to stop you using the airline transport?
