No, I do not nor do I ever think I would want there to be “selfie-free spaces”. Every time I read that out loud to myself it sounds even more ridiculous. Same for restrictions. Making these selfie-free zones could just lead to more problems and questions such as, would the authorities even reinforce this, or even worse, would this just cause people to take more selfies in these restricted zones to seem cool and to “impress” their friends and followers on social media more than they already do without the restrictions? I definitely don’t think this is a problem that should be solved by restricting peoples right to express their creativity and art form. If anything warning signs should be put up in dangerous areas, but even then I’m sure the people taking these risky selfies already know the what they are getting themselves into.
