The right to ones image relative to ownership of ones body.

Given that cheap journalism and private use drones are a distinct possibility in the future, which would decrease, a lot, the cost of airborne surveillance, would you be ok with a journalist(or hobbyist) publishing video footage of "the hottest joggers in your neighborhood" or something similar by following them around during their routines? I mean, they're adults in public. And there might be a real public interest in knowing when and where hot women tend to be jogging. Scenery is nice.

That's verging on stalking, though.

Here in the States, some jurisdictions "name and shame" Johns who hire prostitutes. The names of those Johns are published in prominent places on newspapers or police blotters.

If we were talking about a notable adult at a public protest I would agree with you - it's in people's interests to know if the local MP was at a violent demonstration, for example. But I don't think that holds for ordinary people. The idea that there is a 'public interest in the dissemination of truthful information' only holds in contrast with 'untruthful information' - the fact that something is true does not make it in the public interest.

Given the above, how do you feel about naming and shaming Johns?

And stalking is either one of two things, an invasion of privacy or endangering somebody with your persistent presence. And with a non-weaponized drone, it's hard to see how it would be intentionally dangerous unless crashing them into people became a thing.

I think the issue is more "drones and low-visibility observation" that's the problem, not the photography itself. Like I said, if I can see you, you should have the wisdom to know I can see you. But, my implanted micro-camera? Different story. Implanted 80kg camera? Again, different story.

How do you feel about phone-tapping? Should those subject to surveillance by anti-terrorist security agencies have the right to know that someone is listening to them?

What about a video drone that's very visible flying around/over public areas(though while drones are still illegal the issue of how much airspace you control over your back yard is very much up for grabs)? Say again, with the jogger scenario?

Who are they? Incidentally, I don't believe that criminals should be named in the press, since the whole point of our justice system is that the state decides what the adequate punishment for a crime is, and telling people that so-and-so has committed a crime allows them to treat him differently based on that.
