A significant portion of these comments concerns the legality of the camera pointing at Bbzeb's home. A considerable amount stated that it was wholly illegal and advised the TikToker to take lawful action, with a particular individual commenting:
"Call the police."
Some pointed out that the issue was not as simple as it may be within the law, depending on the situation. One pointed out that the camera may be pointing at her but that its range could be small, making the view of her window minute.

The laws surrounding personal surveillance cameras are purportedly different depending on which state one lives in America. Legal or not, some viewers encouraged Bbzeb to take the law into her own hands.
He asked the elderly citizen to delete the unsolicited photos of the young girls.
The main courses of action they encouraged were to use a paintball gun to shoot it, utilize a reflective mirror or block it using pot plants. Many were worried for the Tik Tok user's safety.
There were accusations that the TikTokers neighbors were doing something illegal via their camera usage, although there was no consensus. However, there was more surety recently that a man on a train was likely acting unlawfully with his recording device.
A viral TikTok warned women to be aware of suspicious men on the train alongside footage of an older adult taking photos of young girls on the New York subway. The TikTok user @notodrugskids posted a second video of them confronting the older adult.
He asked the elderly citizen to delete the unsolicited photos of the young girls, and he did so begrudgingly. From houses to trains, one can never be too careful about who could be watching you.
