      The only solution is to prohibit recording unless it’s for the state’s purposes!

      > In fact, videos of this nature, termed “nightlife content” or “walking tour content” and filmed covertly in public areas, tend to fall into a legal grey area with nothing prohibiting them.

      That’s not a grey area, though? It’s just not illegal. It’s supremely creepy to film women like this, but it’s not ambiguous that it’s legal to do so.

      Those videos are made with a foreign audience in mind.

      The amount of likes and comments from Africa and India/Pakistan proves this.

      You don’t have a right to privacy in public. But in that same breathe who the fuck is going around a town at night recording women? Creeps that’s who. So I say let creeps creep and lets make a good bloody effort to absolutely ravage their socials calling them out for being disgusting

      I didn’t know this was a thing and looked up one of the videos for a minute or two and they’re really weird. Just young women walking down the street on nights out but only young women and only those dressed for a night out. You’d think men barely went out clubbing at all!

      I remember the daily mail doing similar stuff with pictures and I thought it was incredibly weird then.

      I think demonetising the videos is probably the best thing to do for everyone involved.

      It makes me sad that young people can’t have a wild night anymore without worrying about being filmed and publicly shamed on the internet.

      I’m not sure how I feel that this is the headline they chose for this article.

      This is useful for women to know

      Women will become more guarded in public, and then the creeps will say „oh that’s just life“ but also „why won’t girls speak to me??'“. Well you have your answer, kindness and friendliness are not always rewarded if you are a women in public these days. Not any more. This kind of public good will stuff is seen as an expectation to some, but it is an opportunity to humiliate you or make you feel unsafe or give you a lot of hassle. All for just existing. There are people who make money out of discomfort caused and there are others who encourage it. I am so glad I had my light hearted youth experiences in the 90s. I wouldn’t be young now for all the tea in China.

      There should be a law that you can only monetise content with the permission of those in the video.

      Wasn’t there that piano man who had a Camara in a public place, some Chinese woman who got captured didn’t want to be in his film, he said something along the lines of “tough love, this is GB where I have a right to film you” and everyone on Reddit sided with him? We made our bed.

      Who even is the audience for this shit? Just go outside if you want to go on a night out.

    11. RoyalJacko on

      To put it mildly, it’s very weird. But it’s one of these things where I would not want a law that you can get arrested for filming; it’s a slippery slope.

      >She saw herself a few minutes in, with a friend she had been with that night as they visited the city’s bars. Clearly oblivious to the camera filming her, she stands on a pavement outside a doorway on her phone – calling a taxi, she recalls – her hand on the hip of her khaki miniskirt. Then the film-maker zooms in on her face and lingers there before recording her reaching across to wipe something from her friend’s cheek.

      Oh God, how violating. 🙄 

      Proper creepshot that is. Might as well have filmed her getting out of the shower. 

    14. scorcherchar on

      It’s not illegal to film in public and it would have a very chilling effect on society and accountability of public figures if it was ever to be made so.

      I know it’s easy for me to say but the price of freedom is sometimes people use that freedom to do weird and creepy things. That’s just a price we have to pay.

    16. Emergency_Slice3687 on

      The fact so many men film/watch this type of content is so creepy and pathetic

    17. Deadliftdeadlife on

      Stuff like this is going to end up changing the law for the worse.

      The right to film in public is a good right to have.

      These guys are going to cause enough outrage that people will support having this right taken away

    18. Intelligent-Royal682 on

      There are tiktok accounts run by people smugglers with millions of views that make videos like this as an advertisement, and people really wonder why the small boat crossings are mostly 18-34 year old single men.

      The biggest irony of all is that young women are by far the largest demographic that polls and votes to keep letting them in.

    19. Arseypoowank on

      This has been going on for quite a while and it just seems to have had nothing done to combat it, I noticed it started around 2012 when camera phones started getting better. There were a few instances where I’d be out with a partner/date and I’d catch usually a group of young lads pretending to take photos/videos of each other but the cameras were clearly pointed over the shoulder/off to the side at the girls lined up at the bar or in the queue outside. However, what’s truly scary is the quality and production and forethought that seems to go into it now, it’s just so fucking gross.

      I read this earlier and was struck by how no one was able to put their finger on what line has been crossed.

      It seems to me that the act is not the thing that people find objectionable; it’s the fact that the videos are a space where porn-brained misogynists can express themselves without censure. 

      If the comments were just about, say, good nights out people had had in Manchester, I think they might not have felt as violated?

      „You don’t know what you might have been caught doing,“ she says. „What if they’ve got a horrible video of me?“

      Well… I’m no expert but I’m pretty sure the list of horrible things you might have been caught doing is a subset of the list of horrible things you definitely did.

      You only have to go back a few years and this was the staple of nightclubs and newspapers. The Birmingham Mail had a nightlife photographer who would go around and photograph people out on the town and then they would ask the pretty people if they could take a photo. Then the following day the pictures would be on the website and in the paper. And they would offer to sell you the picture.

      I do think that covert cameras are creepy and weird. But being filmed in a public street isn’t illegal, and if the footage embarrasses you, maybe consider whether what you’re wearing is appropriate for the public street.

      I’ll be honest, I think some of these groups of young women are borderline offending public decency, and I don’t mean in a „I’m from Dubai and you flashed an ankle“ kind of way, I mean according to the norms of British culture. And their reaction to being recorded implies that they kind of think that too.
