March 17, 2025 at 5:30 pmThe video features my cousin dancing in a pub with her friends and it was filmed without their knowledge and inappropriately and posted the video in their channel. I reported in Instagram but it is of no use. The profile owner is not responding and not ready to remove the video. Please help me. Also please report the โblr.intovertโ in Instagram, they are posting these videos of so many people and I think most of them doesnโt even know about this.Thank you!

March 17, 2025 at 5:40 pmI checked out the Instagram channel and I donโt think anything over there has been filmed without consent . If you are in a public space you run the risk of getting video taped.-

March 17, 2025 at 7:29 pmLegally, filming in a public or semi-public space like a pub does not automatically require consent, unless the video is used in a way that violates privacy, causes harassment, or is defamatory.Assuming the video does not contain misleading, defamatory, or harassing content, it is unlikely to be illegal. However, if the people in the video are uncomfortable with it being posted without their consent, reporting it to Instagram and requesting removal is still a valid step.
While consent is an ethical consideration, the law does not always require it for filming in public spaces. It only becomes a legal issue if the video violates privacy, is used maliciously, or causes harm.

March 18, 2025 at 12:54 amYou can file a privacy complaint with Instagram if your face appears in a video without consent. Use the **[Instagram Privacy Violation Form](https://help.instagram.com/contact/144059105201979)** and select **”I appear in this video/photo.”** Provide details about the violation and request removal. Instagram will review your request and take action if it violates their policies. -

March 18, 2025 at 6:30 amLawyer here.There is no expectation of privacy in public, and filming someone or something does not require consent. The only exception is if the filming process impedes the subject’s ability to perform their functions. Apart from that, all filming and dissemination of public activity is perfectly legal.
