Two men report anonymous TikTok user for covert filming

Two men have filed police reports against the owner of an anonymous TikTok profile with 45,000 followers, accusing them of violating their privacy by secretly filming and publishing videos without consent.

In one incident at the University of Southern Denmark’s music conservatory in September 2025, a person wearing camera-equipped “Smart Glasses” entered a choir rehearsal, sat among the audience, and began loudly hitting on students. Instructor Jakob Bloch Jespersen, who eventually removed the individual, later discovered the footage had been posted on TikTok after his son mentioned friends had seen it.

“I felt violated,” Bloch Jespersen told DR’s P1 Morgen. “I also believe he broke the law by entering a locked teaching room and uploading the videos without our consent or knowledge.”

Mads Pedersen filed a separate report in August 2025 after discovering a video of himself being approached by the same person in Odense. The TikTok profile has published multiple videos of people filmed without their knowledge.

When contacted by P1 Morgen, the anonymous account removed nearly all its content within 30 minutes, though many videos have since been reposted. The two in question remain offline. Fyn Police confirmed both cases are under investigation but declined to provide details.

Anja Radeka, head of StopChikane, an advisory service for adult victims of digital harassment, said such content reflects a broader trend where boundary-pushing material is monetized. “Crossing lines has become a business. We’re seeing more profiles that provoke strangers in public, film their reactions, and post them for engagement,” she said.

While filming in public is generally legal, Radeka noted that sharing identifiable, harassing material may violate Danish law. TikTok did not respond to P1 Morgen’s request for comment.
