22. If you're walking down a public street I don't believe that's the case.

If you're in public and therefore have no reasonable expectation of privacy and some dumbshit "influencer" captures film of you for their channel there's very little you can do about it.

If there were legal recourse for that kind of thing there'd be a hell of a lot fewer videos online of people behaving like clowns and ending up Internet famous as a result.

The exemption you're talking about for commercial use isn't going to apply to an individual, it would apply to a company that used your image/likeness for profit.

No disrespect intended but I don't think you're correct on this. But what the hell do I know? I'm just some random schmuck on the Internet, not a copyright attorney.
