I wonder whether it would be worth developing a guideline, or just<br>
writing an essay about it on Commons. Trouble is, I know so little<br>
about how the Commons works -- I don't even know how to find their<br>
list of policies.<br>
<br>
My thinking is that voyeurism is increasingly becoming a criminal<br>
offence, and an essay about it might help to identify the kinds of<br>
images we should be wary of uploading. For example, in the UK, a<br>
person commits a criminal offence if:<br>
<br>
"(a) he records another person (B) doing a private act,<br>
<br>
"(b) he does so with the intention that he or a third person will, for<br>
the purpose of obtaining sexual gratification, look at an image of B<br>
doing the act, and<br>
<br>
"(c) he knows that B does not consent to his recording the act with<br>
that intention."<br>
<br>

<br>
The problem with all of this on Wikimedia is the anonymity factor.<br>
People could say "I am the model and I hereby give consent." I don't<br>
know how we get round that.<br>
