Agree and was also curious about this. Specifically when it comes to videos, not only around privacy but also around legal actions against some drivers. I understand that you're responsible for your own actions if you suddenly get the urge to whip out a burnout, join in a race or hit some donuts, but I do feel that all these content creators should blur out the plates on the cars at least. In theory they stash so much reckless cases against the drivers, but then again, I also have no idea if this can be held against you in court?
. Instagram peeps either don't tag you or get you to approve before posting. More people are aware of the dangers associated with it and it really isn't for everyone (especially if you have a high risk or rare vehicle). Friends just whatsapp a pic of the car if it's spotted usually and the owner ends up posting it and tagging whoever spotted it if they want to. When I have my 'visiting' cars I remove or blur out the owner's plates.
I'm pretty sure it's popular somewhere if I look at all the people, like in that video as an example, zombies running around with phones but I also don't creep around TikTok, X or Facebook for that matterI don't see any harm in a spotted thread but I guess the time has now passed for these kinds of things to be big. This has died down over time as facebook and tagging everyone+their dog became popular and now even that is no longer a thing. Facebook has basically become my birthday reminder system and occasionally Instagram stories will accidentally be crossposted/turned on
Then again, I could be totally wrong and this could be wildly popular on platforms that I don't use eg: TikTok, X etc LOL
Events are a different story since you're kind of expecting to be part of the content.
But yeah, events is a no brainer.
There is no expectation of privacy in public space including what can be seen from a public space and photographed.
👋 North
I took my car to that car wash (Traffik) at the tail end of that dyno day.....so I just missed out on being on this video
I know the question is not directed at me but this north or south thing I am still trying to figure out. For now if anyone ask which side you live I just say Somerset. They can decide if its north or south.
NGL... I had to google it.I always spot @tobai.laszlo

I've been here for 2 years now and I'm still clueless.
I'm in the same boat, for the first time I just decided to Google it and I hope it's the right answer
Loads of ST Crew members here, I see them on a daily basis, "the loudest" being a blue one with Neon Green pinstripes all over, always thought it's a Golf thing to rev up like a lunatic while simply moving forward into a parking area or reversing out of it, seems he proved me wrong. He always does the ricer fly by too, full throttle and let off to make the turbo go "whoosh" next to me... very cute though.
I know exactly who you are talking about lolI'm in the same boat, for the first time I just decided to Google it and I hope it's the right answer
Greenz you from Durban right? I used to follow your ST thread on the VW forum.
Thanks guys, helps that I am not the only one
