You can't record someone in a place where privacy is expected (like a toilet or changing area) and you can't record someone in their home. You might face civil consequences (get sued) if what you record and share with the public puts someone's reputation at risk.
Tl;Dr don't say anything controversial in a conversation with anyone unless you're happy with the risk of it being recorded and shared because no, it's not illegal to do so.

it should be though, I mean I cant share or hold someones email without their consent but I can film them, upload it online and make their lives a misery, there is something wrong with that
