Should we post photographs and videos of bad behaviour on the internet?

In my opinion, it is not wrong to post photographs and videos of bad behaviour on the internet. There is no law against taking pictures in public. There isn't any offence commited there unless the person in the photo feels uncomfortable about it, but there shouldn't be a reason of the person feeling uncomfortable as the photographer is only taking you as an example and means no harm or defamatory. Moreover, if posting such media images helps people to behave in public, it won't be wrong to post such images online. In addition, there are many more channels for us to post such images on.

Though many will disagree with that and start protesting that it is wrong, and it is an invasion of personal space and privacy but this shuldn't be the case as there is no law or and offence against taking photographs or videos in public. Those who protest against this are most likely to be the ones who are guilty of commiting such acts stated in the photographs.

Singapore is a vibrant, civilized and cultured city. It shouldn't be marked down by its people because of their bad public behaviour. Those who posted such images have no intenion of defaming those in the photos, they are only hoping that the viewers will not do such acts and those who have done it, will change for the better.

In conclusion, I don't think it is wrong to post such media images online and viewers should not start to protest that it is worng as the photographer has no intention of causing u any harm or distress.
