In China, a man experienced the shock of his life while browsing a platform that sells adult content. In a video that appeared before him, he saw secretly recorded intimate moments of himself and his girlfriend in a hotel room.
A man, while browsing sexual content sold through hidden camera videos that are becoming common in China, noticed a video of himself and his girlfriend taken in their hotel room and was shocked.
PRIVATE MOMENTS IN THE HOTEL ROOM SHARED WITHOUT PERMISSION
According to The Sun, a man named Eric, who lives in Shenzhen, South China, and uses a pseudonym, noticed a video while browsing an adult content channel he normally accesses. In the video, he and his girlfriend are seen walking in the hotel room where they stayed a few weeks ago, dropping off their luggage. The video showed moments when the couple was together later on. The video was recorded in the room by a hidden camera.
The couple had spent the night in a hotel in Shenzhen, South China, three weeks ago and were unaware that they were being filmed secretly.
The most intimate moments were recorded by a hidden camera in the room and shared with thousands of viewers on the channel Eric used to watch sexual content.
SHOOTINGS WITH HIDDEN CAMERAS ARE A COMMON PROBLEM
Filming with hidden cameras and sharing on platforms has been known as a long-standing problem in China. Despite the ban on the publication of sexual content in the country, thousands of videos taken from hundreds of hidden cameras are distributed online without permission. Researchers have found that hotel rooms equipped with cameras that are activated by electrical switches are being live-streamed, and this content is offered to viewers for a fee.
TRAUMATIC CONSEQUENCES FOR THE COUPLE
Eric, in his 30s, reported experiencing psychological distress due to the fear that the video would spread quickly. His girlfriend also expressed her fear that the images would reach her friends or family. The incident caused serious tension in the couple's relationship. So much so that they have recently been wearing hats outside to avoid being recognized and are staying away from hotels.
