We didn’t do that here in America, because perversity is a human right in MAGA America.

To be fair, "MAGA America" is no more responsible for the lack of a law than, e.g. Obama America. I think it's more likely because Americans are less likely to be in close enough proximity to strangers to have up-skirt photos taken than in Japan and South Korea which do have these laws. That's not to say we don't have unscrupulous perverts of course, I remember a man being ejected and banned from a convention I attended because he was walking around with a phone on a selfie stick held low and beneath other people. Bizarre behavior.

(Edit: I looked into it more, and it's not really clear to me that Japan has any actual laws about this, I found a lot of conflicting info. It seems it may be an Industry self-regulation thing in Japan, and also you didn't actually say anything about laws in the first place. South Korea does have relevant laws though.)
