Yeah it sucks. Did everything I could to stay off the internet when I was younger and understood this could happen eventually. I kept my kids off the internet entirely—no social media, no group photos with them uploaded, etc. But now some creep can just look in their direction and record them anyway. I know this is possible with phones as well, as I caught someone recording my youngest a few years back at great wolf lodge. It is just exhausting and it feels like there is no winning.

Not just women, but children too.

How dumb do you have to be to need to cheat a drivers test…
You’d be surprised. We (Driving Theory Test UK) do not allow them into our test lab. They either test without them (locked away) or do not test.
Across our network of test centres there are usually a couple of attempts at cheating each day.
Such as tech assisted, like Meta glasses, or fake licences, or even impersonation.
Some people think it’s beyond them to learn and insist on cheating.
And get caught too…

I just want subtitles in real life
Sorry ,only outside the matrix
