Me and my Girlfriend were filmed and uploaded without our consent

Recently me and my girlfriend found that there was a tiktok secretly filming us in a restaurant and uploading it without our consent. The video was uploaded more than a year ago (we were still underaged at the time) and has garnered more than 500k Views. We are really disturbed by it as it harms our privacy. What can we do to take down the video?

We have seen some post saying that the creators could appeal by saying its a public setting, but in this case the video explicitly zooms in and only recorded the two of us. Any insight or suggestion would be greatly appreciated

For additional context we dont live in a western country and it is illegal to some extent to film someone in public. However were wondering if we could take steps through tiktok without needing to take legal action

You're in public. You have zero privacy. Get over it.

No, its not illegal to film people in public and whoever did it has the right to do so. Im sorry but you have absolutely no recourse here.

file a copyright claim if any music in the background is yours, or try reporting for harassment/privacy violation directly to tiktok. the "public place" argument doesn't really hold when someone's deliberately zooming in on just you two.

Don't go out in public if you dont want to be filmed while out in public. Simple as that

In general no one has an expectation of privacy when in a public place.
