Twitter has suspended an account called CanadaCreep which apparently was a repository for photos and video of Calgary area women taken in public places but typically with the focus on closeups of breast, buttocks etc. Some of the videos are said to have been of the so-called upskirt kind. The story, released Wednesday by CBC, does not have the name of the owner of the account, if is publicly known. It is possible to set up a Twitter account more or less anonymously. Local police are said to be looking into CanadaCreep. CBC says the CanadaCreep account was active for almost a year and had posted hundreds of photos and videos before Twitter shut it down on Tuesday morning, following complaints. Alexandra Constantinidis, 22, learned on Monday evening she was among the women whose images were posted to the site. She said numerous friends alerted her to a nearly minute-long video that appeared to be of her walking in downtown Calgary, filmed from behind and focused on her backside. When she watched it for herself, she recognized it as being recorded on Friday, as she was going to get lunch. Canada Creep is said to have amassed 17,000 followers.
