In the case of France there's two possible broken laws (not a lawyer btw):

  • If the glasses wearer upload the video/photo online, you are one of the primary subject of the frame (aka not just in he background), and didn't consent to being on the internet, you can sue.

  • Companies must legally ask you for your concent to collect personal and identifying information. If the video/photo is sent to meta for big data/ai training, they must ask for consent

Edit: "primary subject" is kinda vague and may change depending on the context. If you do a VLOG and someone does something funny in the background, not aware of the camera, and the video is re-uploaded to only feature the guy, then it becomes the primary subject, and must be asked for concent
