The proliferation of internet access and smartphone technology in Southeast Asia has been accompanied by a disturbing rise in online gender-based violence (OGBV). This paper examines the phenomenon colloquially known in the Philippines as "Pinay scandals" and the broader category of "Asian scandals" within the digital ecosystem. It explores the intersection of technology, misogyny, and exploitation, analyzing how these materials are created, distributed, and consumed.

The paper concludes with an overview of legislative responses, specifically the "Anti-Photo and Video Voyeurism Act" in the Philippines, and the challenges of enforcement in the age of end-to-end encryption and anonymous file-sharing.
