ELI5 Why the news does not have to blur your face?

ELI5 If you watch a show that interviews people in a public place the show blurrs people's face who did not consent to have their face shown on TV but when you watch the news they don't have to do the same blurring. Why does the news not have to blur faces of people that don't consent to being shown?

Disclaimer: IANAL, and this isn't necessarily true everywhere in the world.

By going into a public space, you make your face visible to everyone else. If you have a reason not to want your face to be seen in public, you either cover it or you don't go outdoors.

By going into a public space with your face visible, you also implicitly consent to your image being picked up by any CCTV cameras that may be around.

If you don't want to be on camera, you can ask the crew to blur you out or exclude you from their footage. Sometimes the crew will put up a sign stating this, in the same way that some buildings have a sign on the outside informing you that they use CCTV.

In an interview, they may ask the participants what they want to do, but this is not practical in a public space with thousands of people around.

In short, the default position is that your consent is automatic, and you need to withdraw it if you object.
