TITLENotification to Google, Facebook (Meta), YouTube and Platform Users Regarding Harassing Surveillance by a Neighbour’s CameraDear 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 (ID: 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. Each floor is approximately 4 metres high, so the camera is at an approximate vertical height of 16 metres above ground level. The first floor of that building extends illegally all the way to my garden wall and forms a TERRACE that is about 4 metres deep. From the main façade of the building to the edge of this TERRACE there is a horizontal offset of about 4 metres, and from the edge of the TERRACE to my garden wall and the place where I sit on my swing there is another 4 metres. This means that the total horizontal distance between the building and my garden seating area is roughly 8 metres.This configuration can be described precisely using basic geometry. If we model the situation as a right‑angled triangle, the vertical side of the triangle is the height of the camera (16 metres) and the horizontal side is the total horizontal distance from the building to my garden (8 metres). According to the Pythagorean theorem, the direct line‑of‑sight distance from the camera to my position in the garden – that is, the hypotenuse of this triangle – is:distance ≈ √(16² + 8²) = √(256 + 64) = √320 ≈ 17.9 metres,which can reasonably be rounded to approximately 18 metres. This shows that the camera is not positioned 1–3 metres above its owner’s own door, window or balcony like a normal private security camera would typically be. Instead, it is mounted high on another building and aimed across this 18‑metre gap, over a projecting TERRACE and my garden, directly at the place where I sit.First of all, let us be clear about the part of triangle geometry that is actually correct. In every triangle, the sum of the interior angles is always 180 degrees, and in every triangle, if you take one exterior angle at each vertex, the sum of those exterior angles is always 360 degrees. This is very simple, basic school mathematics. By contrast, a calculation such as “three times 360 equals 1080, then 1080 minus 180 equals 900, so the exterior angles must be 900 degrees” is mathematically wrong, but it is useful here as an example of how some people seem not to know even primary‑school geometry and yet still try to justify the way this camera is being used. In our situation, the height of the building, the illegal TERRACE and the distance to my garden clearly form a right‑angled triangle, and the line of sight of the camera is the hypotenuse pointing directly at me; anyone who understands even this elementary level of geometry cannot seriously pretend that such a camera is just an ordinary, harmless security device for the owner’s own door.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 and swing 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 18 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 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: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.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.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,Name and Surname: Fehim CalgavAddress: Sakızağacı Sokak No 11, Maltepe, Istanbul 34844, TürkiyeE‑mail: fehimcalgav@hotmail.comPhone: +90 532 220 2002Date: ………
