I agree with this.  Then there is this interpretation (which is new to me)
that individuals who expressly consent to be photographed in groups at
Wikimedia events can also expect their photos *not* be published online on
either Commons or social media (without explaining their position to
photographers).  I don't think this ever used to be the case.  Wikimania,
by its very nature, is a social event and there was always a presumption of
consent in the absence of express prohibition.

I do think now that there is a need for FSP to explicate norms for
photography and publishing.
