We often find ourselves joining social media groups to stay updated on the latest trends, whether it's about cars, sports, our local community, memes, and more. These groups serve as platforms for people to connect and share information with others.
However, one netizen's post on 'Dcard' shed light on a concerning discovery within the 'Yoga Pants Focus Group' on Facebook.
Upon entering the group out of curiosity, the netizen found not only images of attractive yoga enthusiasts but also numerous photos of unsuspecting women wearing yoga pants taken without their consent on the streets.
These photos included full-body shots and even close-ups of intimate areas, shared within the group for voyeuristic viewing. The OP urged anyone recognizing the individuals in these photos to report the posts or pursue legal action.
She also shared her discomfort, having herself worn yoga pants to the gym and feeling uneasy at the thought of being secretly photographed. The post sparked a swift discussion among netizens.
Subsequently, the group changed its name to 'Yoga Focus Group' and removed all covertly taken photos. The group owner emphasised a policy against covert photography, allowing only voluntary photo sharing. The OP aimed to raise awareness about women's safety and oppose covert photography, irrespective of gender or attire.
She stressed that wearing yoga pants does not imply consent to be photographed without permission and urged respect for privacy and mutual understanding.
