If I secretly hide a camera in your bedroom, would the violation of privacy be made more egregious if I then went ahead and broadcast that footage on TV?
>Isn’t it just you have a window to look in or not? And every building has windows to look in if you choose to not draw the blinds?
For example, there would be a pretty big difference between my neighbour being able to see into my apartment and my neighbour organising tour groups to look into my apartment.
I don't mind my neighbour, it is reasonable to expect that my neighbours will be able to see into my apartment. I however could not reasonably expect that my neighbours would host some sort of organised viewing activity on a regular basis.
Isn't it on the individuals occupying the apartment to use curtains of some sort if they don't want to be seen? Unless I'm missing context the museum didn't organize tour groups to specially look into the apartments

Sure, but the problem here was explicitly not the individuals occupying the apartments being seen.

From the court ruling: "Visitors in the viewing gallery frequently look into the claimants' flats and take photographs, and less frequently view the claimants and their flats with binoculars."
"Photographs of the flats are posted on social media by visitors. On the platform Instagram there were 124 posts in the period between June 2016 and April 2018"
I do not think it's acceptable to subject anyone to this, be they rich or poor.
I did read that part, I still do not see how that justifies closing the museum terrace. The people photographing and sharing online pictures from the flat isn’t on the museum. Make the museum forbid to take pictures from the terrace if that’s the main source of concern. The museum didn’t create the terrace with the intent to showcase the inside of the flats as far as I can tell, it seems they had the permit to build it before the building existed.
Of course it's on the museum, this was an entirely predictable outcome.
And, as I understand it, it was the Tate's initial failure to do anything to restrain their visitors that caused the Supreme Court to decide as they did.
It's worth noting that it has since re-opened - but access to the side directly overlooking the flats is restricted, and there are now signs asking visitors not to take intrusive photos: https://www.timeout.com/london/news/the-tate-modern-has-reop...
Well maybe don’t live in a city if you don’t want people to see in your house? I mean seriously floor to ceiling windows.. what the f do you expect?
I don't mind people seeing into my flat. I would very much mind the specific, egregious behaviour described in the court case.
Which is exactly why you wouldn’t build your house with floor to ceiling windows next to a museum.
Actually, sounds like they had a much better solution than moving out of the city: they appealed to a judge, who agreed with them. Sounds like you’re the one out of step with reality here.
