Notification to Google, Facebook (Meta), YouTube and Platform Users Regarding Harassing Surveillance by a Neighbour’s Camera

Dear Representatives of Google, Facebook (Meta Platforms, including Instagram and WhatsApp), YouTube and other technology companies, and to all users who may view such content,

My name is …Fehim calgav lD 55636072914……….. and I live in Istanbul, Türkiye. Because of a security camera installed on the exterior of a neighbouring building, the privacy of my home and my private life is being seriously violated, and this camera is effectively being used as a “harassment camera”.

The camera in question is mounted on the 4th floor of the neighbouring building, at an approximate height of 15–20 metres above ground level. The horizontal distance from the camera’s position to my garden is about 25–30 metres. Due to this geometric configuration (the mounting height and the diagonal distance considered together), the camera is tilted at a narrow angle that looks directly down towards my garden and the rear façade of my home. In other words, instead of being limited to the doorway or property of its owner, the device has been specifically oriented to oversee the neighbour’s garden from above at a distance of approximately 25–30 metres.

As can be seen from the photographs I have taken, while I am sitting in my own garden the camera can capture my face, body movements and daily personal behaviour (for example, smoking) in a detailed and recognisable manner. Because of its narrow, downward‑tilted field of view, the camera directly frames the seating area in my garden. Anyone who watches the recordings can clearly understand from the images that “the camera is looking down from the 4th floor and from a distance of about 25–30 metres in order to monitor the neighbour’s garden.” For these reasons, the device is not merely used for general security, but appears to be used specifically to observe me and my home.

There is no visible sign or notice on the building indicating that images are being recorded or that personal data is being processed by this camera. Nevertheless, images of me in my private and semi‑private area, namely my garden, are being continuously monitored and most probably recorded without my knowledge or consent. This situation constitutes a serious infringement of the inviolability of the home, the privacy of private life and the protection of personal data under the basic principles applicable in Türkiye and internationally. As a result, this camera ceases to be an ordinary security device and, because of the way it is positioned and the nature of the images obtained, it becomes a tool of harassment directed personally at me.

Images captured by this camera in which I am clearly identifiable may have been stored or shared by the camera owner or by third parties via services provided by Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp), Google (YouTube, Google Photos and similar services) and other technology companies. I absolutely do not consent to the existence, storage or sharing of such content, and I do not accept the processing of my personal data and likeness without my explicit permission.

For these reasons, I respectfully request that:

1. An investigation be carried out to determine whether any images or videos obtained by the above‑mentioned neighbour’s camera and containing my recognisable likeness have been processed on any platforms or services provided by Google, Facebook/Meta, YouTube or other major technology companies, and that I be informed of the results.
2. If such content is identified, it shall be removed immediately from the relevant accounts, access to it shall be blocked, and appropriate measures shall be taken to prevent it from being re‑uploaded.
3. Technical records relating to such content and to the accounts that uploaded it (including creation and upload dates, IP addresses, access logs, etc.) be preserved in accordance with applicable legislation and kept available for submission to the competent judicial authorities in Türkiye upon request.

With this notice I am addressing not only the platform owners, but also the users who may watch such recordings. Any images of me that have been taken in my garden and at the rear façade of my home in this way are recordings obtained without my consent and in violation of my personal rights. Watching, sharing or re‑uploading such content would mean participating in behaviour that infringes the privacy of private life and the protection of personal data.

During your investigation, I am ready to provide additional photographs, date‑time information and further details of the incident if requested. I trust that you will take the necessary steps to remedy this situation and to prevent similar violations in the future.

Yours faithfully,
