Secretly filming in the name of hook-up, the double sin of not indulging

Author: Wang Ishikawa

According to reports, in July last year, XiaoLe was shopping in Sanlitun, Beijing, and was picked up. When she went home to brush the short video, her friend found a video that was secretly filmed by her, and Xiao Le realized that she may have been secretly filmed, and the copywriting on the video platform was still very uncomfortable. Open the short video website, search for "hook-up", you will find that there are multiple hook-up as the theme of the account, the hook-ups are all men, the hook-up object is mostly young women, the hook-up content is to make friends, to WeChat mainly.

This kind of candid photography, no matter in any name, is not legitimate or legal. As professionals claim, it is illegal to make a hook-up video and publish it publicly on social platforms, whether for profit or not, without the explicit consent of the subject being filmed.

It is not profitable to get up early. The reason why these lawbreakers risk breaking the law and secretly shoot is that the purpose is extremely simple. "Big God Street Sister", "Successfully Met with Netizens", "Talk to Sexy Little Sister", "Take advantage of her boyfriend's absence"... From the relevant platforms, this one by one chat video is enough to see the vulgarity and bad taste of the lawbreakers. Clicks can be monetized, which is an important reason why hook-up videos are popular.

What's more, an account called "Ma Ye Hookup Research Institute" even talks to high school students and starts a training business. According to reports, the owner of the "Ma Ye Hookup Research Institute" account told reporters that the charge for teaching hookup skills is 498 yuan online, and you can join the WeChat group and have the teacher's guidance alone. Offline 5800 yuan, four days to talk to the actual battle. This is uncompromising ignorance of money, and to earn this kind of money is to regard the law as nothing, and to regard public order and good customs as nothing.

Sneaking a shot in the name of hook-up, the evil is reflected in two aspects. On the one hand, it undermines trust between people. Talking to the effect of finding a conversation and talking is normal in interpersonal communication. But in the name of hooking up, who will dare to accept a conversation from a stranger in the future? Especially those young women, in order to protect themselves, dare not respond to strangers' conversations. In this case, it will inevitably increase the cost of communication between people and undermine social trust. For example, when a stranger asks a young woman for directions, will the person who asks the way wonder what the other party has in mind, or is it secretly filmed in the name of asking for directions? Therefore, sneaking a shot in the name of a conversation has the evil consequence that people who originally have good intentions may also refuse or fear the inquiry of strangers, and once social trust collapses, everyone is a victim.

On the other hand, it infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of the parties. The whole process was secretly photographed but unconscious, and it was also sent to the platform for people to consume, which was uncomfortable for anyone to put on. People in the legal profession pointed out that this kind of interaction between the photographer and the photographed person includes all aspects of the subject's appearance, language, voice and place, which belongs to the social privacy category of the filmed person, and should be recognized as a private activity protected by privacy in the legal sense. Violating the privacy of others should pay the legal price due.

While calling on relevant departments to pursue the legal responsibility of those who steal photos in accordance with the law, we should also face up to a practical problem, that is, how should the relevant platforms be checked? On some platforms, there are many such videos and they are also very popular. The platform has the responsibility to clean up these videos in accordance with laws and regulations, and it is also responsible for handling relevant accounts.

According to reports, the owner of the "Ma Ye Hookup Research Institute" account told reporters that there is a danger of being suspended by opening a chat account on the short video platform, and he has been suspended many times, "If it is blocked, it does not matter, it can be reopened." This has given the platform a wake-up call, can not be written, but also to increase the intensity of review, to prevent such videos from being published on the platform, but also to prevent the blocked number to change the face to continue to make waves on the platform.

Candid photography is not tolerated by law. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the ability of accurate prevention, so that those who can steal photos cannot secretly shoot. Multi-pronged, each doing its part, the space for sneaking in the name of hook-up will become more and more cramped. (Wang Ishikawa)
