    We're in a 1984-stye world now with phones acting as the perpetual-surveillance telescreens and endless erosion of privacy.

    Maybe we should be thankful it's to benefit random perverts and weirdos rather than a central government, but the Grenfell victims families and the crackpots and the signwriters who have to put warning signs to not take photos inside public toilets would complain we've massively declined as a society.

    They invited them in to do a job. They didn't invite them to take photographs of their possessions inside their home and share them.

    Has your "friend" asked their tradesman to stop showing the pictures around / take the social media posts down?

    If not then your friend doesn't actually care and neither do we.

    Why would signwriters complain about extra trade?

    So is it tradesmen who have taken photos of work they have done to show to others as an example?

    I mean the people who feel they need to put the signs up:)

    Being invited into someones home is not an invitation to do as you please, there is an expectation to behave respectfully. It is an invasion of privacy to photograph inside someones home without their knowledge.

    What were these people doing in the home, were they employed to work there?
