What does that have to do with anything here?? I don't know about you, but my likeness is not permanently located in a public space...

Freedom of panorama (FoP) is a provision in the copyright laws of various jurisdictions that permits taking photographs and video footage and creating other images (such as paintings) of buildings and sometimes sculptures and other art works which are permanently located in a public space, without infringing on any copyright that may otherwise subsist in such works, and the publishing of such images.

I'm not sure of the correct term. It should be obvious though that if anyone can copyright claim their own image, it would basically make taking photos in many public places impossible.

It's not impossible at all. You just have to blur the faces and any identifying marks unless you've obtained explicit consent. Kind people already do this regularly.
