In 2023, Eric was casually browsing a social media site known for adult content when he stumbled upon a video that made him freeze. To his shock, the couple he watched was himself and his girlfriend entering their hotel room and engaging in intimate acts—moments they thought were private. Unbeknownst to them, they had been recorded by a hidden camera installed in their hotel room in Shenzhen, China, and the footage was streamed live to thousands of viewers on a porn channel. This alarming discovery turned Eric from a viewer of this content into a victim of it. This hidden camera trend, often dubbed 'spy-cam porn', has been thriving in China for over a decade, existing despite national laws against pornography and invasive surveillance. The issue has gained traction on social media platforms, with users exchanging tips on how to spot such cameras, with some women going as far as pitching tents inside hotel rooms to ensure privacy. Although the Chinese government attempted to combat this issue with new regulations, reports indicate that hidden cameras still proliferate and expose countless guests to this unwanted invasion of privacy. Eric and Emily's experience has left them shaken; they now avoid hotels and wear hats in public to prevent being recognized. This worries about surveillance not only affects their lives but reflects a larger societal issue about privacy and consent in an age of rampant technology misuse.
