How to identify peeping at others' privacy?

Peeping into other people's privacy violates civil law, belongs to civil tort, and needs to bear civil tort liability.

Peeping, the law does not explicitly stipulate that it will not involve criminal responsibility, but only part of administrative punishment, which violates the regulations on administrative penalties for public security. Of course, if you ask for compensation, that is, civil compensation, you can sue for compensation for mental damage, and if it is serious, you can detain it for a few days as a punishment. At present, there is no clear definition of this kind of voyeurism in Chinese law. Whether it is illegal or not depends mainly on its development.
