“Oktoberfest Hands Out Free Cycling Shorts to Combat Upskirting on Devil’s Wheel” — what this page in the network covers. Munich’s Oktoberfest is taking action against upskirting on the Teufelsrad, or Devil’s Wheel, a popular spinning amusement ride. An investigation by German journalists uncovered tens of thousands of voyeuristic videos online, many focusing on women wearing traditional dirndl dresses that had ridden up. In response, festival organizers are providing free cycling shorts to female riders to protect their privacy. The move addresses a longstanding issue at the world’s largest beer festival, which attracts millions of visitors each year.
By offering practical protection, Oktoberfest aims to curb non-consensual filming and create a safer environment for attendees. As the festival continues, this initiative may set a precedent for other large events grappling with similar privacy violations.
