Al Jazeera:

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?

      If it makes you mad you mod troll
      If you think it makes others mad you mod flamebait
      If its about raping women/kids you mod Spam
      If you disagree with it you mod redundant
      If you think its wrong you mod disagree
      If you can't decide you mod overrated

      Or so I assume based on how I get modded, IANADownmodder.

        Or, if the commenter admits to trolling, your Troll downmod is a foolproof pick.
