No more street photography?

[StevenN]

From a Facebook post by A Solo Traveler:

Denmark has just made a bold proposal to protect human identity in the age of AI. A new copyright law would grant every citizen full ownership of his or her likeness -- including their face, voice and body data -- ensuring that no AI system or company can replicate or use these without consent.

I'm thinking that eventually, this will be adopted worldwide.

What if I'm photographing an event for my local newspaper; do I have to get the consent of everybody who happens to be in the picture?

How will this affect street photography?

It might teach some Street Photographer's to read and not listen to sensationalist (and plainly stupid) BS.

The laws are around ai enhancing or creating deep fakes of persons and nothing whatsoever to do with 'Street',

There is a 'however'. What if, however, the image used in the deep fake was nicked from a street photographers post?

Cheers,

According to estimates, there are 5.3 billion photos taken each day. How are they going to police street photography?
