Were you in a public place? People can film you if you were. As for posting on a social network site, just report it, its 'harrassing you' and it will get removed.

I'm no legal expert but I believe if they film from a public place then that is allowed. Publishing online in theory is the same as publishing in a newspaper or magazine - ie it is public media. I would assume the legalities regarding the negative comments is down to whether what is written is true or not.

It depends if they're invading your privacy, or if they are filming a public space?

Why is it illegal ? I've seen loads of sites posting pics and videos of people (who has no idea) along with comments. People of walmart dot com is one site for example.

 

Although people may not like it, I have a feeling it's ok to do it.

If you're not doing anything wrong in the footage I dont see what the problem is.
