Stricter rules over who can film school sport games should be introduced to protect the privacy and safety of young athletes, the boss of School Sport New Zeal…

ffs another reason to not enjoy school rugby. let the kids play and someone film them if they want. kids these days can't even have a highlight reel without some Karen complaining 🙄
yeah nah get stuffed. if some creep films my kid I'm gonna be livid.
not the same thing. sharing on your own page vs strangers mining for content are different worlds.
Ah yes, the nanny state strikes again. We've got to wrap these kids in bubble wrap and ban anyone with a camera. What happened to common sense? Parents used to film their own kids without a problem. Now we need a whole regulatory framework because of one dodgy YouTube channel. Waste of time and money.
Hang on, have you actually seen that YouTube channel? They zoom in on faces, comment on tackles, basically dox kids. It wasn't just filming, it was creepy. Some regulation is needed ffs.

get real, the kids don't care about being filmed half as much as the adults. they're on tiktok 24/7
read the article mate, it was literally a channel zooming in on kids' faces and being creepy. you want that at your kid's game?
I get the concern but banning everything isn't the answer. Teach kids about online privacy, talk to schools, have guidelines. Don't just shut it down because of one bad apple. Just my two cents.
what a load of shit. kids are filmed in public all the time, at the mall, at the park. what makes school sport different? typical overreaction from the pearl clutchers
same but also let the kids have their moment. We don't need regulation to stop every tiny risk.
I saw that channel and yeah it was dodgy af. But now the schools are banning ALL outside cameras? My kid's game last weekend had no videos at all, not even from parents. Overkill.
lol cope, you're probably the same people who post your kids all over social media without consent. total hypocrite
So we can't have nice things because of a few weirdos. Classic. Meanwhile actual safety issues get ignored. Let's focus on something that matters maybe?
facts, but we also need a solution that doesn't ruin it for everyone else
This is just the beginning. They'll ban phones at games next, then ban shouting. Get ready for silent rugby folks 😂
I suppose the next step is mandatory consent forms for everyone within 50m of a game. This is why kids don't play sport anymore - too many rules and not enough fun.
