Sounds like a very reasonable "fix", equating filming people spinning on a table to upskirting a waitress serving someone is a bit weird
it sounds like some people film this intentionally to upskirt
Like those creepy bull riding machines where they say you can get a free drink if you last 90 seconds, and then the operator spends that whole time trying to make their tops fall down and skirts ride up, before flinging them off with three seconds left. I suspect "spinning ride which lifts women's skirts" is probably at least part of the point.
While I do agree, there's apparently a certain breed of 'content creators' that specifically film and upload women at the Oktoberfest, explicitly for sexualization.
Yes, there are public places where people commonly become undressed like the beach or the Teufelsrad. But no, you should not just film strangers und upload them for monetary gain.
Still it's not exactly upskirting filming from where everyone is watching...
Good point, but it makes the headline much easier to write at the very least.
