Academic and author Chandan Gowda believes the recent incident underscores a troubling rise in privacy violations, fueled by the ubiquity of instant-recording devices and the viral power of social media.
According to Gowda, what was once considered private is now frequently exposed without consent — often in the name of outrage, entertainment, or justice. The ease with which anyone can record and share moments in real-time has blurred ethical lines and fostered a culture of digital surveillance by peers.
He warns that this normalization of record-first, ask-later behavior is weakening respect for individual boundaries and eroding public empathy.
