Melbourne TikToker Harrison Pawluk posts this video:
Likes, shares, virality, adulation follow as usual.
Then, the woman featured in the video speaks out:
So, dude makes a video under the guise of 'spreading love' and does not get permission from person features in video or even notify them that they were being filmed.
And this is happening everywhere on TikTok and instagram.
And the worst part is, because it is happening in public, there is no legal recourse for the people being affected. These TikTokers are not treating people like people, but as props for their own videos and profits. Not only can these people not be punished, but they can profit of using you in their videos without your knowledge and you just have to suck it up.
So when is the law going to catch up to stop this madness?

"He interrupted my quiet time, filmed and uploaded a video without my consent, turning it into something it wasn't, and I feel like he is making quite a lot of money through it."
"Maree then realised she was being filmed a few feet away from a group of people and asked whether they were filming, to which they responded, "No""
