Guy playing some awesome piano in the UK gets harrassed by Chinese tourists saying to not film them in public 2

This video is insane! This takes place in the UK. This guy is playing some awesome piano and a group of Chinese people tell him to stop filming them... but they're in public. One of the Chinese guys screams at the guy at one point. A policewoman eventually arrives and seems to be confused on their own laws... They need to remember they aren't in China. Thoughts?

Ironically the video is being circulated more as a result of them trying to stop it, where it might have been obscure otherwise. They Streisand Effect'ed it.

He was too quick with his communism/this isnt china angle, but there was contempt in the way the chinese guy deflected the touching.

Nice piano playing.
China people were very confused about what their rights are in the UK.

I thought in China it's pretty normal to be filmed all the time. How else is the Chinese government supposed to keep track if you're entitled to a job or home upgrade? They need to know if you jaywalk or act too gay.

I think they have the least regulations around facial recognition software in the world. That’s why there’s legislation against TikTok they think it’s being used to generate more facial recognition data.

They'd made some agreement with someone else somewhere not to appear on film, then when they realised that they were breaking their agreement they tried to unfuck their fuckup. Completely failed at diplomacy, tried authority, failed, tried appealing to authority, failed, got told to go away.
Years of working with Chinese tells me if they had been told it was live they would have stopped immediately. They would not have acted shamefully if they thought it was being broadcast.

I think if they had politely approached and asked if they could be censored out. He might’ve considered it. But they were so rude.

That's undoubtedly right, too. As well as collect tropes of other data about human behavior that will come in handy in their plans for World Domination. I'm not the kind of guy to buy into all kinds of conspiracy shit, but it's clear China is up to Google/Meta-style datamining with a hefty geopolitical component to it, the combination of which is more dangerous to world peace than North Korea's nuclear program.

The piano in the video has been roped off and has guards watching it. Apparently the MI5 are involved in this incident.

Given the displayed arrogance they probably were very rich, hence the law makes an empty gesture to them that its being handled while pianoman was in his right.

Do you think there are people guarding it 24 seven now. Just in case some naughty piano man was to sneak behind the ropes. Then start playing the piano.

probably not, just an empty gesture till the delegation is out the country.
they probably made good on their threat to take it to court and the cops are doing damage control.

AFAIK, they have no legal ground against the piano man to win any kind of lawsuit against him.

It was just the sort of launch into the limelight that his youtube channel needed.
