SBM reminds Guests not to Film or Photograph without Consent
The Société des Bains de Mer (SBM) recently put up new signs, reminding people to “Please do not film or photograph hotel and casino guests”. These signs popped up after videos of guests, some of them in bathing suits, were uploaded to TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, with scandalous or “clickbaity” titles. Many guests of SBM establishments seek privacy while staying in Monaco, which prompted the SBM security team to put up the signs.
According to the signs, “Any offender is subject to sanctions”. Any recording or posting without consent is “punishable under articles 308-2, 308-3 and 308-4”
