Modern age, which is hypersensitive to privacy rights, is somehow uncomfortable.

As a matter of fact, people do not have so much interest in others. There is no person who is staring at you beyond monitoring cameras. For those around you, your existence is like "Henohenomoheji (seven hiragana characters grouped together to look like a face) of an ukiyoe drawn by Utagawa Hiroshige." Your rights are protected by the "Henohenomoheji. https://www.instagram.com/ar/148646543884060/
