"Every time I am in public anyone can photograph (or video) me, but it doesn't make it any less sleazy if someone is following me, taking candids of me in a compromised position, and posting them elsewhere. I probably can't sue the photographer, but I also didn't consent, and most reasonable people would agree that I have every right to be mad. Only a dickhead would say 'well just don't go out in public'."

– somebody who gave me permission to quote them and asked to stay anonymous

This sounds very similar to a concept I was thinking of a while back, casual privacy:

What casual privacy isn't, is a foolproof cage around my data. A deliberately malicious and powerful actor could no doubt still get a look into my home if they wanted to. They probably could manage to eavesdrop at the restaurant and certainly could walk around to get a different angle of my computer screen. That's not the point.

It's a different framing, but as far as I can tell it's the same idea.
