@ArtGeek@mastodon.social the European Union is not a place.😅
I wasn't referring to the geographical location, but to the legal jurisdiction: several European countries (United Kingdom, Norway, Switzerland, Iceland, Serbia and Albania) are not members of the European Union and do not obey the GDPR and other common privacy laws.
Questioning to a local and asking for permission are always smart moves, just be careful to what you do with people's pictures, as publishing faces online requires special care.

@LorenzoAncora@ieji.de @ArtGeek@mastodon.social That's not entirely true - the UK has UK GDPR, based on the EU GDPR

@LorenzoAncora@ieji.de I know the EU isn’t synonymous with Europe, but many (the majority?) European nations are members of the EU. I didn’t know that the UK GDPR was distinct from the EU GDPR, but that makes sense, given their very public exit from the EU. The US isn’t the only country with populist demagogues in high office. 🙄
