- hutzlibu 7y agoIn the age of cheap smartphones and the allways existence of desperate people who have nothing left to loose, I think its highly unlikely that videos of such camps could not get out. Not if it is on that scale. (just refering to the argument, I did not check whether the camps exists or videos) On the other hand, such camps would not look much different from prisons, so I doubt you can expect KZ style pictures. Edit: just wondering, is my argument really that bad, or am I dealing with patriotic bite reflexes?
- EGreg 7y agoI don’t care who does it. There are cellphones everywhere today. Millions of detainees, I am sure there are videos somewhere! I think that the following devices would be REALLY useful not just for human rights but proving what happened in an altercation: A tiny device that can record video or video, perhaps embedded in the clothing or body of a person. The stream is ENCRYPTED AND THEN transmitted to local towers or wifi or whatever, and finds its way to some servers. Maybe via a DHT routing. Anyway, these servers store the encrypted data and the keys are generated by Shamir Secret Sharing so 3 or more parties can come together and decrypt the video. In countries with rule of law, this could be used to figure out rapes on campus, by having such cameras in every dorm and bedroom. The keys would be obtained during a court case only. In human rights cases, the keys would be generated by human rights organizations. So this will eliminate “peeing toms” and “spying” by having warrants for decrypton of a video strean, and curation by trusted agencies what gets shown to the public.
