A new blogger has emerged in Uzbekistan, seeking to gain popularity and followers by using methods that are hard to call ethical. This “hype chaser,” as he has already been dubbed online, secretly films couples sitting on park benches and then uploads these videos to the internet for everyone to see. He has also been jokingly referred to as the new “Uyatman,” but the problem he creates is far from funny.
Violation of Privacy
The first and most obvious violation committed by this blogger is the invasion of people’s privacy. Couples sitting on a park bench expect privacy and tranquility. They have every right to keep their personal lives private. However, “Uyatman” strips them of this right, turning their intimate moments into a public spectacle for all to judge and criticize.
Such actions are not only unethical but also illegal. The privacy of citizens is protected by law, and secret filming without consent is a direct violation. Law enforcement agencies must intervene and stop such actions, which can cause serious harm to those affected.
Psychological Pressure and Public Shaming
Beyond invading privacy, the blogger’s actions can have severe psychological consequences for those who become his victims. Being thrust into the public eye can cause stress, anxiety, and even depression, especially when their private lives are exposed without their consent. Public shaming, jokes, and ridicule on the internet can lead to serious psychological trauma that can be difficult to overcome. Given the social norms in our country, this could even lead to tragedies—young women, in particular, may resort to desperate actions, including attempts to take their own lives due to such “shame.”
These actions not only harm individuals but also have a broader societal impact. They contribute to a culture of shame and public condemnation, leading to increased mistrust and fear. People may begin to fear showing affection in public, which restricts their freedom and makes public spaces less welcoming.
What Needs to Be Done?
Law enforcement agencies must act swiftly in this situation. The blogger who violates citizens’ privacy should be held accountable. It is also essential to strengthen control over such incidents and conduct awareness campaigns about the importance of respecting other people’s privacy and personal space.
It is crucial for society to understand that secret filming and posting such videos are not just jokes or harmless hype. These are serious violations that can have negative consequences for those who find themselves in the spotlight. We all have the right to privacy and protection from such actions, and this right must be upheld at all levels.
