正如信息社会的建立使电子商务和在线通信得以扩展一样，它也使支持少数群体性行为和活动的在线网站和社区得以扩展。其中一种活动是同居现象，即男子在公共厕所与其他男子寻求性满足。像许多其他团体一样，这个在线社区的参与者已经接受了新兴技术，利用留言板和在线讨论提供建议，传播对地点的认识，安排物理世界中的性会议，并分享警告和警告。这类网站可以而且也被用于执法目的，既可作为监视工具，也可作为防止非法集资犯罪行为发生的手段。本文将试图考虑这些技术和社会学的发展，以及在这一领域的新兴法律，以及这些技术发展如何改变了这种现象在物理世界中的运作的探索。
Abstract Just as the creation of the information society has allowed for the expansion in e-commerce and online communication, so too has it allowed for the expansion of online sites and communities that support minority sexual practices and activities. One such activity is the cottaging phenomenon, which involves men seeking sexual satisfaction in public lavatories with other men. Like many other groups, participants in this online community have embraced the emerging technology, utilising message boards and online discussion to offer advice, spread awareness of locations, arrange sexual meetings in the physical world and share cautions and warnings. Such sites can be and are additionally used for law enforcement purposes both as a surveillance tool and as a means of preventing the criminal practice of cottaging taking place. This article will seek to consider these technological and sociological developments alongside the emerging law in this area together with an exploration of how these technological developments have changed the operation of this phenomenon in the physical world.
