whats it got to do with an employer
Unless they are a clear invasion of privacy (i.e. taken in a bath/bedroom/state of undress) I don't believe you have any legal way to prevent video or photos being taken of an adult and posted online. Your consent to photo or video being published is not required, unless you own the copyright of the photo or video.
(the above is my understanding as a amateur photographer - not a legal opinion)
If it is on a social networking site surely your son can remove the tags of himself? Also, changing privacy settings to only allow 'friends' can stop people seeing them.
Why then did the Data protection guy make the website shut down that had fotos of folk at bustops

Please read the article again and take not the he did not force them to close down. He expressed some concerns and opinions but that is all. It is not even clear if the he has a role in this area at all, see his own comment:
"He said the taking of the photos by members of the public would be unlikely to give rise to data protection issues as this would probably be covered by the exemption for “personal data”."
Jim.
ThanksIt's really up to your son to sort this out with whoever has posted the videos. If the poster really won't do anything, then follow the Youtube privacy removal process; http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?hlrm=en-GB&answer=142443
Indeed he did and he went on to say:
"But the site, in publishing them, seemed to be a “data controller” processing personal data without the consent of those whose images were involved."
Its the same issue as Google maps. They remove pics of folk when asked
