This is preposterous. The gotopless protest event is worldwide and was internet created. Its expected that those that participate will get media attention. That makes it no different from the WNBR, and with the WNBR, riders are all well informed that they will be photographed.
to show up at one of these rallys and NOT expect to be photographed is very naive. To then complain about it on youtube is preposterous (
unless the photog(s) in question were rude and intrusive beyond a reasonable level).
On the other hand, it was mentioned that in NYC this year, photogs also created some problems. I guess the issue here may be that, unlike the WNBR, women aren't moving and hence they have little power to escape the guys with cameras. Being able to move (and get away if necessary) really makes a difference for a woman and why they feel a lot safer on bikes.
That said, you should still have very little expectation of privacy here. After all, your intent is to generate media attention to your cause, and if you don't feel comfortable at a top free protest,
how the hell are you going to feel comfortable in the top free world that you advocate!!!
