Police in South Korea Want People to Put Stickers on Their Phones to Curb Spycam Porn
Thousands of women in South Korea have protested spycam porn in the region—in which obscured cameras are installed to nonconsensually record women in intimate places—and now police are asking people to put camera protectors on their phones.
The Gyeonggi Bukbu Provincial Police Agency has created almost 50,000 camera protectors and are distributing the free covers in response to an increase in spycam porn-related crimes, according to a report from Korea Herald. This is part of its “Illegal Filming OFF” campaign.
The police in northern Gyeonggi Province reportedly said this campaign included input from the agency’s communications department, its women and youth division, and some people in the marketing industry. “Reactions have been mixed, but we have also had positive reactions as the campaign is designed to prevent misunderstandings in public spaces,” a spokesperson for the police department said, Korea Herald reported.
