Hi,

Recently on my flight from AMS-CPH, for the first time ever flying KLM in so many years, the Purser finished here announcement both in Dutch and English "Please do not take photos of any crew members in connection with the privacy rules".
Is this something new (as in company policy/announcement) or just crew dependent? Not that this affects me in any way, just curious (at least for me) out of the blue this is added. I believe I've only heard this once or twice before on other airlines and I do know that on some airlines, this is included inside the inflight magazine - but never so explicit about it.

Curious if this change is due to the current times where maybe quite a number of incidents onboard due to non-compliant pax taking photos of crew/challenging them or as evidence crew not wearing masks, etc...

Cheers!

ps: Did not hear this on my BRU-AMS flight
