Hidden camera porn has become a major menace in the Asian country.
South Korea has ordered daily searches of its capital city’s public toilets to fight the growing menace of “spy camera porn,” according to BBC .
Seoul finds itself gripped in an epidemic that targeted more than 6,000 people last year, with more than 80 percent of those recorded being women. These cameras are placed in public toilets to record women relieving themselves, or undressing, with the videos finding their way to pop-up pornographic sites in South Korea. It is believed that the number of people whose privacy has been compromised is a much larger pool than what has been reported in the Asian country.
Earlier this year, thousands of women took to the streets in Seoul to protest the menace, carrying placards with messages like “my life is not your porn.”
Activists say that although this is a problem which is increasingly pronounced in South Korea’s capital city, other cities — or even countries — are not immune from it. In many cases, those recording these women privately turn out to be friends, and women are often shocked to find their nude videos online without their knowledge.
