Chapter 5: Information Privacy

They gathered information about the women and though not too much is directly shown it's hard to believe that they didn't infringe on privacy somehow. The only part we saw in the film was trying to get the voice recording. It is very possible that there was some sort of surveillance but given the fictitious nature of the film it's hard to directly match up everything as we don't get many details on how they made the replacements. It's also possible that Joanna's husband was invading her privacy by feeding private information about and tracking her whereabouts and behaviors and then reporting that to the Men's Association. He allows them into their house to take note of their shared bedroom and create a replica of it without her knowledge or consent.
