Enshittification Of A Restroom Near You
Enshittification does not usually involve actual shit; nor does it here. But the scenario invoked by this meme (a public restroom that revokes the opacity of its stall walls as a unilateral “privacy policy” update) would be the very quintessence of enshittification:
I researched this viral image (with and without the meme caption) but was unable to locate an original source; it has been very widely distributed. However, Reddit is full of Internet Smartguys™ who will assure you that this is a real restroom outfitted with smart glass that can be made opaque by stall users. I don’t know if that is true. Internet Smartguys™ frequently volunteer as unpaid defense lawyers for all kinds of nonsense. It seems like a lot of extra expense for no obvious reason that I can discern. But conspicuous consumption happens, so.

“Pray we do not update them again”?

If you look at the section “Examples of use” it mentions the public restroom at Amsterdam’s Museumplein and non specified toilets in Tokyo.
It’s Wikipedia, so it definitely might be possibly true.
