Recently, some netizens broke the news that there are many surveillance videos obtained from the B station suspected of cracking the cameras in schools, hospitals and other public places, causing concern. On January 17, B station issued a processing announcement: the first time to organize investigation, the relevant content was removed.
Screenshots show that users upload multiple clips of teachers' lectures, hospital nurses' desks and hotel front desk monitoring videos. Although the platform has dealt with the account, it is still frightening that the black production of voyeurism, represented by cracking the camera in public places, was originally operated underground, but now it is openly spread on the video platform, and the invasion of privacy is evident.
The online video, mainly for public places. However, it should be pointed out that the open characteristics of public places do not mean that surveillance videos can be viewed and disseminated freely. It is easy to violate privacy as long as the surveillance content is cracked and disseminated without the authorization of the operators and related personnel in public places.
The breach of surveillance in public places does not mean that privacy is leaked, only confined to these public Spaces. Whether the industrial chain behind it extends the illegal behavior of peeping and photographing to more private private occasions also needs to be investigated.
In fact, some criminals have no bottom line in order to make profits. For example, a recent CCTV report mentioned that camera accounts were secretly sold on social media platforms, "150 yuan to buy 400 camera accounts"; Related camera accounts include not only public places, but also hotels, bedrooms and even toilets.
Video surveillance is cracked, the camera is black, privacy is sold cheap, our public and private life, at any time and anywhere in the prying and watching, and difficult to detect, just like entering a "Truman's world", this is undoubtedly quite terrible things. This calls for more rigorous and rigid governance.
The first is the online platform. Like the B station involved in the incident, after the netizen broke the news, the reaction was quite rapid, but until the exposure to find the illegal content, there is a lag in itself. For the network camera black production -- whether it involves public places or private Spaces, video platforms should have more stringent review and control lines of defense, cut off the link of public transmission.
In addition, the crackdown on the relevant black industry governance, can not be limited to the communication link, but to dig deep behind the industrial chain.
In terms of the peeping and photographing industry chain, communication is only one link. The technical cracking of the webcam, the peddling of camera accounts and surveillance videos, and even the sale of some hidden cameras used for peeping and taking photos, should be included in the scope of severe crackdown and the remediation of the whole link.
Of course, the improvement of the full link requires the public security and other functional departments to increase the attack, and also needs the platform to work together. For example, e-commerce platforms strictly prohibit the sale of illegal equipment, and some video surveillance cloud platforms should also improve security protection and establish technical firewalls for webcams that are more difficult to crack.
Whether in public or private Spaces, our privacy should be in our own hands. Only by investing in greater governance efforts, attacking the source and improving the whole link of the underground black production of peeping and candid photography, can we get rid of the risk of being peeped on anytime and anywhere.
