Furtive phone photography spurs ban
Furtive phone photography spurs ban (BBC news): "As camera phones become more popular, national, governments, local authorities and some businesses are starting to restrict the places they can be used.
Italy's data protection commissioner has issued stringent rules governing how the phones can be used and some other organisations, including strip clubs and gyms, have banned the phones from their premises.
Picture phones are already banned in Saudi Arabia and their use is frowned upon in other Middle Eastern nations.
Some people have already been prosecuted for misusing their mobile phone camera.
[...]
The rules only allow images of people to be snapped for personal use, demand that the images be kept safe and require users to tell people if the image they have taken of them will appear online."
