The step at the Munich festival comes after thousands of voyeuristic videos emerged on social media.

    There is a difference to consenting to the ride and consenting to be recorded and those videos being sold. Like a huge difference.

        That is literally what the article is about and is not a secondary concern. The people on the ride consented to that. They may not even have thought videos of them doing it would end up on the internet.

          I feel like they try to frame this ride offering pants to protect from onlookers somewhat unrelated to up skirting. I guess both are enabled by ubiquity of smart phones, but one angle is expected and one isn’t.

            The shorts are not for onlookers, the shorts are to discourage onlookers from taking non-consensual photos/videos and selling them on the internet. The article even goes on to say it is a huge problem at the festival outside of this ride alone.
