Does this apply for bloggers taking photos on flights? Should faces be blurred like google does with google maps?
It's impolite. If the TV news is taking photos of whatever they darn well please, then they're not much better than paparazzi. I try not to take photos of anything if people's faces are showing, unless it's an obvious crowd. That usually means I don't have as many pictures as I would like of airport lounges and planes. Blurring faces doesn't make it much better. The person you're taking a picture of doesn't know you're going to blur his or her face.
