Double-sided mirror: It is a shield to protect privacy, why has it become a weapon for snooping on privacy?

Recently, Weibo netizen @ girl don't be afraid A post with the theme of "installing double-sided mirrors in bars" has aroused strong concern. The post said that someone broke the news that the bar men's toilet has double-sided mirrors, and the girls change clothes, make up, and tidy up their clothes and pants in front of the washstand, which can be clearly seen by the men in front of the urinal. The girls were also unaware of this. @ Girls don't be afraid To suggest that the sisters go to the bar after that, be sure to check whether the mirror in front of them is a double-sided mirror, and collect good evidence to call the police!

After the post was sent, 220,000 likes, 32,000 forwards, more than 5,700 people followed the post, and the content of the post was mostly reprimanded for "double-sided mirror peeping".

At the same time, according to a number of media reports, some netizens said that the mirror of the handwashing station of a bar in a certain place is a double-sided mirror, and the VIP box behind the mirror can see female customers taking selfies in the mirror. This confirms the authenticity of the installation of double-sided mirrors in the bar. In response, the store responded that the design considered the permeability of the box and the ornamental fish tank, which is located in the shared handwashing area for men and women, and is not malicious snooping. But such an explanation does not make much sense except for attracting more severe reprimands from netizens. On March 16, the local market supervision and management office responded that the staff had gone to the scene to carry out verification.

The current scene of public opinion questioning is like the wave of network anger against "double-sided mirror peeping" in 2014. At that time, the media reported that in Beijing's Haidian District, 6 young women reported to the police that the landlord had double-sided mirrors in the bathroom and pinhole cameras in their bedrooms, and had been peeping for a long time. Landlords who posted rent messages online indicating that only single young women were recruited and that their mobile phones were found to contain nude photos of girls were undoubtedly carefully arranged. Lustful landlords are under police control. The picture shows that in the bathroom of these female tenants, there is a double-sided mirror about 2 meters long, and there is a hole in the wall behind the mirror, from which the inside of the bathroom can be clearly seen.

The shock caused by this matter can be imagined, and since then, the following posts on the Internet exposing the "double-sided mirror black screen" have emerged in an endless stream. Even CCTV solemnly reminded in the program: beware of "perspective" double-sided mirrors, landlords in the bathroom with double-sided mirrors, tenants are spied on.

Technically, the two-sided mirror is not "original sin". Instead, it is meant to be a "good man." After the glass is vacuum-coated with a film, the light can be reflected back, which is the principle of the double-sided mirror. In a car equipped with this kind of glass, the person inside can see the outside, but the person outside cannot see the inside of the car, so it is also called one-sided see-through glass. This kind of glass is mostly used in prisons, interrogation rooms and other places. The use of double-sided mirrors has been shown in some police dramas.

Unexpectedly, the two-sided mirror that was originally a double-sided mirror to protect privacy has become a weapon for snooping on privacy in reality. It's true that the kitchen knife got into the hands of the bad guys and got bad! When the two-sided mirror representing scientific and technological progress is used in improper places, everything becomes tainted.

Faced with a sneaky double-sided mirror, the upright gentleman could not stand it, and a bar practitioner confirmed that the bar mirror was pointed at the location of the washstand, and behind it was the VIP private room. On Douyin, a blogger who specializes in bar market research can't help but stand up and break the news: the men's toilet with double-sided mirrors in the bar has become an excellent place for some people to vent their lusts. But the realization of the "indescribable" function of the double-sided mirror has made some people's hormones soar, and the post @girl don't be afraid also has a screenshot of the men's toilet double-sided mirror that makes some lewd men fall into the carnival.

The men's toilet in the bar with double-sided mirrors is no different from "peeping paradise".

This kind of situation makes people feel dirty and disgusting when they think about it. No normal person would think that installing double-sided mirrors in men's toilets is a normal need. Installing double-sided mirrors in men's toilets as a selling point to satisfy some people's dark and perverted psychology and thus attract customers is a shameful business. The rush to this secret "mystery" is to obtain deformed sensory enjoyment from voyeurism, but to let go of the evil feelings, to be pornographic, and even to conspire with others to infringe on the basic human rights of others.

The double-sided mirror of the bar men's toilet is also a mirror of the demon, which shows the ugly face of some people who do whatever they want.

Toilets and bathrooms are the most private places, and no matter what people do in between, they never want to be "seen" by people. It is human nature that people demand that their most private information not be stolen and robbed. Secretly installing double-sided mirrors to peep at women against their will is an insult and deprivation of women, and even more a provocation to the law - installing double-sided mirrors in bar toilets to provide "special services", this design arrangement itself is suspected of violating the privacy rights of guests. As for voyeurism, or even recording and disseminating the information snooped, it is suspected of constituting the crime of illegally obtaining citizens' personal information.

Installing double-sided mirrors in places such as bars and men's toilets to peep is not only morally degrading, but also suspected of blatant violations of the law, so it cannot stop at moral condemnation, but also must severely crack down on such behaviors in accordance with the law and curb such chaos.

The double-sided mirror incident in a bar in a certain place should become a case of key "dissection", introspection and in-depth response. And all kinds of revelations from netizens should also be paid attention to. After the uproar, the voice of public opinion 7 years ago was finally extinguished, and people did not even know what kind of punishment the "lustful landlord" had been punished, which made people feel deep regret. Such a scenario should not be repeated.
