The popularity of smartphones and the internet has allowed everyone to transform into a “one-minute reporter.” Even some newspapers offer high rewards for secretly filmed videos that capture interest, providing lucrative payouts.
Although the Constitution guarantees freedom of speech and the law does not punish you for filming non-private parts of others in public places, do you truly understand what respect means?
If you want to be a reporter, you could go to a battlefield to tell the world first-hand real-time information. If you want to be a reporter, you could cover the entertainment industry. If you want to be a reporter, you could track the past and present of political figures.
I am just an ordinary citizen living in this society. My actions are mine alone to be responsible for; I do not need your cheap justice.
Your cheap justice doesn’t even know how to respect others.
After secretly filming me, you don’t even have the courage to ask if I’m willing to have it publicized.
After secretly filming me, you don’t even have the ability to mosaic out the faces of bystanders.
So, aside from secret filming, what do you have left?
Does getting hundreds or thousands of likes on Facebook make you happier?
If it does, you are actually suffering from a severe case of Facebook Like Dependency Syndrome.
If you think I am doing something good, please put down your phone and come give me a hand.
If you think I am doing something bad, please put down your phone and come stop me.
When you hold your phone in one hand to film what I’m doing while simply standing aside full of sighs about how cold the world has become, your cheap justice is the root cause of this societal indifference.
You aren’t filming to solve a problem; even if you claim it’s “evidence,” you are actually just a pervert.
And your behavior of only daring to hide and secretly film others is merely to satisfy a superficial desire for self-gratification through cheap justice.
