@ana@starlite.rodeo as evidenced by the sheer volume of videos of men (it's always men) approaching women in public, recording them without their knowledge or consent, then uploading those interactions to the internet to try and earn money https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwy87wqz0q9o Even aging TV presenters aren't immune to violating other people's privacy for clicks https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx26p4vpgmko

@fak@toot.community @ana@starlite.rodeo there's also a trend in UK of middle aged white men wearing the spyglasses to "audit" the brown people in the petrol garage and check the pumps are accurate and putting all this on their social media channels (hoping for ad revenue) in spite of Trading Standards regularly doing these checks anyway with proper calibrated equipment (but the gammons feel they can't be trusted because its the public sector and not a "crusading individual").
