On: VPN ban is strangling communication in Myanmar

When we were travelling in the Andes, we were warned multiple times to not take photographs of local peoples without their permission as they could take offense. Seems like a reasonable position but should the wishes of people in the Andes be respected while those of people in Europe ignored? If so, why?

Is it standard for people in the Andes to take offence at people taking pictures of them? I don’t know, maybe it is, haven’t been there. It is not in Europe.

Err.. what?

If you walk up to a random European on the street and start taking photos of specifically them, they’ll get agitated real quick.

Thanks for taking the most uncharitable interpretation of what I wrote possible. It’s so productive.
