Although it has been less than a week since its debut, organizers realized there is a problem amid reports of inappropriate behavior such as people flashing body parts or putting curse words on screen. "The overwhelming majority of visitors have behaved appropriately and experienced the sense of joy and connectedness that this work of public art is intended to evoke," the Flatiron NoMad Partnership said in a statement. "Instances of inappropriate behavior have come from a very small minority of Portal visitors and have been amplified on social media." Dublin's city council said in a statement it was looking for ways to come up with a solution to the bad behavior while keeping the portal open so the good intentions behind it can continue. On the New York side, the Flatiron NoMad Partnership said there are a set of protocols in place since the launch, including 24/7 on-site security and barriers to prevent the public from stepping onto the Portal. "The Portals team and our partners in Dublin are working on additional solutions including software updates to limit such behavior appearing on the livestream; additional on-site staffing; barriers to prevent people from stepping onto the Dublin Portal; and educational tools on how to best interact with the Portal on both sides," the statement went on to say. ...

Exactly my opinion.
I mean, really.
On the other hand, such portals are a great idea, imo. There should be more of them. A lot more. That is once they get some behavioral issues under control. ;)

The local TV news coverage showed a woman from the back who appeared to be nude from the waist up. She seemed to be having quite a happy time in front of the portal.
But, it is NYC, my guess is that would be one of the milder, ummm, ~violations.~

A woman being topless is legal in NYC. It's not technically illegal in Dublin either.
They need to get over it.

Also, some New Yorker held up a potato. No word on whether the Irish hurt themselves by charging full speed into screen to grab it.
