Social media platforms and online content hosting services have a significant role to play in preventing the spread of hidden recordings. These platforms must take responsibility for removing such content and reporting it to the authorities. The onus is also on the users to report such content and not engage with or propagate it.
For more specific advice or information on Kerala's context, I recommend consulting local resources or official statements from educational or governmental bodies.

The increasing availability of miniature, easily concealable cameras has made it more challenging to detect and prevent such incidents. These devices can be hidden in a variety of objects, such as air fresheners, clocks, or even charger cables, making them difficult to spot. The anonymity provided by the internet has also emboldened individuals to create and share such content, further exacerbating the problem.
