This is obviously an act that constitutes an invasion of privacy not unlike the Beijing Uniqlo incident and the Ashley Madison hack in the previous post, BUT with one difference -- the intention. The uploader is not exactly a voyeur in the sense that he derives perverse pleasure in spying on his neighbours and then sharing the clip online out of malice and fun....
Here, the new media can be said to be playing the watchdog role (like on STOMP), and the newspapers, by catching onto this, and reporting it in traditional media, is also playing the same role -- to WATCH and report wrongdoings to the public so that appropriate actions can be taken to redress the wrongdoing......Media in a sense act like the 'eyes' of the authorities so that they can take action and send help where appropriate....
Of course, this also recalls the sinister police state in Orwell's "1984" where CCTV are everywhere 'watching' the people such that people have no freedom at all....
Qns:

2) Is violence ever justified? (Cam. 2012)
