South Korea is in the grip of a "spycam" epidemic with covert footage of sex, nudity, and urination posted online in what amounts to a "social death penalty" for thousands of female victims.

The footage may be taken surreptitiously by boyfriends or captured on covert devices as small as car keys. Daily camera checks are now part of life for cleaners in many public toilets.

The spy camera phenomenon has reached such epidemic proportions in tech-savvy South Korea that tens of thousands of women have taken to the streets to march for action.

Srsly?

  In a nudist community, this wouldn't happen, because sharing a naked photo of someone would have zero power.

  Of course, Korea is not a nudist community, but you knew that didn't you?

    I don't think that anyone is real sure what the point is. Why don't you pick one?

    a. you're a piss poor troll
    b. you're just plain stupid
    c. you're crazier than our Mud Duck Crawford

    You might offer some other options, but we probably won't accept them.

      While your expectation (sounds more like a "decree") that "every men" should conform to your standard of "don't do as the dogs do"**, nudists, North Korea and the whole humanity included... is different from stupid trolling exactly how?
      Only because it's a sincerely belief that you hold? This doesn't necessarily make it less stupid.

      In you place, I'd zip up that hole, your authoritarian streak is dangling outside in a disgraceful display.
      I'll stop short in saying you should or must do it, I don't expect everybody to conform to my moral/esthetic values.

      ^{And before you give the false dichotomy a try (yes, I know is tempting)}
      Yes, I agree that the right to privacy must apply to all humans and there is a responsibility derived from it that also applies to all humans. But these two have no relation with the behavior of the dogs

      My, aren't "we" plural. You aren't "we", you're singular. Note the total lack of plurality. You speak for yourself only.
