    These will be destroyed in microseconds, and rightfully so.

    Toilet stalls are one of the most frequently vandalised things.

    The computers in the restroom are literally free, you can just take them. It’s a free computer with a screen!

    If only there was something regularly produced in toilet stalls to use for giving feedback…

    Is it still illegal to have cameras in the bathroom? Because hammers and spray paint are cheap and easily concealable.

    Look, if the revenue goes straight into maintaining the restroom and keep it from looking like, well, a public restroom I honestly don’t mind.

    Something tells me that’s just wishful thinking, though…

      If we could get public restrooms like the ones in Japan just for watching a few ads, I’d be all for it…

    Places have been doing this for years but not with screens. Just like a bulletin board with ads. Even on your table.

    Places like that, you don’t go back to unless you have to. In laws couldn’t understand why I didn’t like their favorite pizza place.

      Before that people used to write phone numbers on the stall walls advertising things.

      The difference is most ad systems with screens also have a camera built in to the hardware, because they’re just repackaged tablets.

      If I want faceless companies to watch me shit I’d buy meta glasses, but I really really do not want that.

    Everyone is quick to judge but no one has asked themselves if this is for the sexy ads. This could make things a lot easier.

    Pretty sure I saw advertisements on screens in bathrooms in American nightclubs and bars over twenty years ago. I think they didn’t have one per cubicle, though.

    I see this less of an issue than the overall lack of public restrooms outside of the major subway stations in Japan in general.

    The vast majority of comments here are painfully unaware of Japanese societal norms and I can guarantee that these won’t be vandalized with exception to maybe the most alt cultured youth areas such as Amerikamura.
