There is no right not to have your picture taken and publicized when you are in a public area.
A quote seems relevant here. As usual, he hits it out of the park:
"You know, when I was in Paris, seeing Linter for the first time, I was standing at the top of some steps in the courtyard where Linter's place was, and I looked across it and there was a little notice on the wall saying it was forbidden to take photographs of the courtyard without the man's permission. [...] They want to own the light!"
-- Iain M. Banks,
The State of the Art, chapter 6.3
Halation Effect
