Hmm. Not sure how I feel. Obviously I am of no note to regularly have a camera shoved in my face, but airports/aircraft sort of blur the line for me on whether 'public' or 'private.' Per the username I also often cruise and wouldn't object to being 'captured' on film in the passing. I also have no objection to people being photographed and shamed for abhorrent behavior such as bare feet on the bulkhead, clipping toenails on a lounge table etc.

I do see value in having experiences filmed and 'YouTubed' to help make informed choice.

Ultimately I should defer to the policy of the carrier whether I agree with it or not, but, not all that sure it's "something that needs to be said" - if an individual is causing a particular problem, they should be tapped on the shoulder and spoken to, rather than a blanket announcement.

If I worked for an airline (or any public facing role), I'm not sure if I would/could object to being filmed either. Most prominent YouTubers blur faces unless the crew have clearly consented to appearing.
