    Group of accounts set up webcams outside of busy public restrooms. Records people’s faces as they exit the bathroom and how long they were in there. Auto-ID’s and sends email asking as part of a public poll if they agree with the statement “If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear”

    N: auto erase image and associated data

    Y: auto publish bathroom exiting face and time spent in restroom to tiktok.
