A new trend of amateur paparazzi groups in London, such as Celeb Spot London and Deauxmoi, are relying on public tip-offs and user-generated photos to capture celebrity sightings in the city. These groups, run by regular people rather than seasoned paparazzi, have gained a large following on social media by sharing mundane details about celebrities’ lives. While this celebrity gossip may seem harmless, the practice of taking covert photos of celebrities going about their daily lives raises ethical concerns. The constant surveillance and invasion of privacy can have negative consequences, as seen in the case of a retiree who was body-shamed after being filmed dancing at a club. The article argues that celebrities, as well as regular individuals, deserve privacy and should not be subjected to constant scrutiny. Despite the allure of capturing a celebrity moment, it is important to consider the impact of such actions on the individuals being photographed. In a society increasingly focused on social media and online content, it is crucial to respect the boundaries and privacy of others, including those in the public eye. Ultimately, the article suggests that we should think twice before engaging in the culture of celebrity surveillance and instead allow people, both famous and not, to go about their lives without constant observation.
