British Pianist's Livestream Sparks Viral Confrontation Over Public Filming Rights

Chinese nationals demand deletion of video, leading to heated argument and police intervention in London.

Brendan Kavanagh, a British pianist with 2.2 million followers on YouTube, was confronted by Chinese nationals during a public performance in London when they realized they were being filmed.
The Chinese nationals, who claimed to work for an entity with tight restrictions on having their images released on social media, demanded Kavanagh to stop filming them and threatened legal action.
Kavanagh argued that they were in the United Kingdom, a free country, and he had the right to film in public, leading to a heated argument that ended with police intervention.
The police sided with Kavanagh, stating that he had the right to film in public, which led to further outrage from the Chinese nationals.
The incident, which was livestreamed and later went viral, has sparked discussions about cultural clashes, authoritarianism, and political correctness.
