My understanding was that he got permission from an employee of the store to install the app, and explained what it was for as well.


I reread the article before posting.

I believe he only mentions getting permission to photograph. It seems that he took at as a permission to install an app that would photograph. Maybe there was something I missed. If so, show me a quote.


Agreed. I doubt he was seriously confused about people's expectations. It seems like he's just trying to act innocent after the fact. "Oh I asked permission to do something tangentially related to my project and parts of the project might have even been legal!"

Or maybe I'm wrong and after years of relinquishing your own privacy, you simply have no respect for the privacy of others.


His lengthy post doesn't mention asking permission to install the app or explaining what it was for to a store employee. Where does your understanding come from?
