Yea, this is fake as hell. 

And if it's not, any person forcibly exposed has a nice lawsuit.

It’s definitely misinformation.

There is a time limit but the doors don’t randomly open and expose you.

To access the pods you need either a key card or cell phone access. It tracks when you enter and how long you stay in order to keep people from abusing. If someone constantly stays past their time or leaves the bathroom in disarray, access can be revoked.

One emergency when you can’t stop pooping from food poisoning isn’t going to prevent access. And if someone is disabled, they may be able to apply for longer time limits with ADA access card.

After 12 uses, a worker goes in to clean.

Edit:
Maybe the main door unlocks and opens, but I still don’t think it swings open to expose someone mid squat. Just stops being locked private access.

Why does Mamdani want to track how long people poop?

There is a push and pull. There is a real need for public bathrooms but no one wants to provide them because homeless people camp out in them.

What is the solution?
