    Why wouldn’t they be? Is it illegal to record people without their permission in the EU or something? Clueless American here.

      Yes, with fix mounted cameras. You can walk around and record with your phone etc though.

      You cannot permanently record public places and you may not publish recordings of people (as in them being the main content in the video) without their consent. A temporary recording or live stream should be pretty much a non-issue, especially if you don’t do anything with it other than watching it.
