The man sitting near her \u2014 who appeared to be on vacation with his partner \u2014 kept scooting his chair back. So she looked over at his phone. What she saw ended up on TikTok, racking up 2.3 million views.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/t\/ZP8GAt4o5\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:now-viral video;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;now-viral video&quot;}\" class=\"link \">now-viral video<\/a>, set to a reggae track with text overlays narrating the scene, Koenig (@samanthakoenig6) documents the man scrolling through photos of other women\u2026while his partner sits right next to him, apparently unaware. The caption: \u201cMaybe she\u2019s a sister?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Koenig noted that she \u201cdidn\u2019t like how he kept scooting his chair back\u201d \u2014 presumably to angle his screen away from his partner. This move ended up angling it toward a stranger with a phone and 4,800 TikTok followers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Think about what this man was up against. He was in the shade. He had a straw hat on. And he had his brightness turned down low. And he still got caught by a bystander, filmed, and put on blast to the masses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This could explain why the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/select\/shopping\/what-is-a-privacy-screen-rcna342390\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:privacy screen;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;privacy screen&quot;}\" class=\"link \">privacy screen<\/a> market is booming.<\/p>\n<p>Is it okay to record a stranger\u2019s phone?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Whether it\u2019s acceptable to record strangers has become a contentious debate.
