Up-skirt photos are the one area where this gets me caught-up; Either a hypocrite or a shitty person. For the sake of consistency, I tend towards shittiness - the only real reason there's anything like an expectation of privacy in public is so shitty (powerful)people can get-away with shitty things, when really, being in-public is being on-display.

Then there's my stance on getting "caught" having sex on a park bench in a secluded forest by way of a trail-cam. I'm far from convinced that video evidence should count as evidence of an otherwise truly private, victemless, "crime" that otherwise wouldn't be. We should only be jailing public officials caught-out in conflicts of interest/corruption like-so, and almost never the camera-man.

Instead, its the opposite. We are surprisingly far into all of this deep-fake and leaked-video shit for the average person to have any qualms about saying "whether that video is real or not is none of your business", as if significant resources will be spent validating all but the highest-profile of images, but I get there are people who are generally embarassed and not just wrapped-up in their personal "sin" of having been portrayed or caught in a compromising position.

None of it upsets me so much as former strippers or adult film stars losing their jobs over shit that's years-behind them, while genuine pedos escape notice for decades. I'll say it again: society and the law are laser-focused on the wrong shit, and from the wrong-end of the turd at that.
