Defamation and Privacy laws violated?

[Ricardo71]

Looking to get clarification on a topic that I feel may be one many of us believe is not a violation of privacy, or a wrongful act of defamation. Can someone find an issue with this post?

Is this video about you?

 

[Ricardo71]

It’s not about me, although it’s on my thread so technically it was introduced to me via social media.

I believe many people would benefit from a valid response

Who's privacy do you think was violated? Who's "many people"? How would they benefit from your posting about a person that has nothing to do with you?

I’m merely looking for clarification on a matter that is a major problem, and this is a good example.
Consider it a learning lesson

Watch the video

I did. I don't see anything
"illegal" in it. Some nitwit was talking out of school on an open mic. She was recorded. Not illegal. What do you think the problem is?

Clearly, you don’t get it. You can’t record another persons conversation and exploit that person (period)

See - you're NOT here to learn. You're simply here to argue. That's why I reported the thread as soon as you posted it.

I’m not looking to argue! I’m looking for a valid response/s. This is a major issue and you’re just being a stickler bc you’ve been here way too long. What’s wrong with a topic of conversation that has valid grounds for discussion. You never heard of “learn by example”

This isn't a discussion forum.

Oh, my apologies. I didn’t realize this.

First, it appears that any post and link to the video has since been taken down, so no one new can review it.

Second, laws regarding recording vary by state - did you identify your state in the original posting?

Understand that when you are in a public place saying things that can be easily overheard in public, recording is generally not unlawful. You can complain that it's wrong, rude, etc., but that doesn't mean it is unlawful. The recording of a confidential communication is another matter. But, if the person recorded was acting the fool in a place where many could see and hear it, then a recording is usually not against the law.
