Prof @subhajitbasu.bsky.social has just penned a fascinating new article for @theconversation.com: 'Is it illegal to make online videos of someone without their consent? The law on covert filming.' He addresses videos made on smartphones, wearable cameras, and smart glasses.👇 tinyurl.com/u5nc72ac

Is it illegal to make online videos of someone without their consent? The law on covert filming
In the UK, filming someone in public – even covertly – is not automatically unlawful.

This #WorldArtDay, we’re celebrating art’s power to bring beauty and meaning to shared spaces. 🎨 Featured below is a mural in the School of Law Memorial Garden, painted by Leeds artist Katie Scott in memory of our colleague Rachael Taylor, a peaceful place to reflect and enjoy. ☀️
A vibrant mural on the side of a building featuring colourful flowers, a large butterfly, and a bumblebee against a blue sky with clouds and a faint moon. The mural spans the entire length of the building, incorporating a variety of flowers in orange, white, pink, purple, and yellow. A metal staircase leads up to a black door on the right side of the building.

UK car manufacturers are compelled to either offer significant discounts on new vehicles or subsidise competitors focused solely on electric cars, none of whom have manufacturing facilities in the UK
