When I was being told about this Act which will be enforced later this year/early next year, as a citizen, I was delighted. There's finally a law that protect our personal data that will be misused.
However, as a photographer, I am more than worry. It seems like taking someone else's photo would equate to the collection of personal data. Even though the act enforced on commercial entity and on private ground, it can't help but to think it'll generally spell more trouble to photographers. And for Street Photography, it could just spell death.
