Of course, frequently. I must still be missing something. I have had zero extortion requests. My footage might be captured for private consumption by some perv, but where is the harm to me?
- mensetmanusman 5y agoExtortion is generally geared towards women. Violence towards women like this is a general negative externality/tax on society because everyone interacts with women.
- ngneer 5y agoI am inclined to agree, and you are correct if you assume that I am male. But I would prefer to see the data. Without it, the first sentence of the abstract is unsubstantiated. "Tiny hidden spy cameras concealed in sensitive locations including hotels and bathrooms are becoming a significant threat worldwide." The paper cites no evidence for "significant threat worldwide". Academic fancy?
- trickstra 5y agoWould you argue that voyeurism should stop being a crime then?
- ngneer 5y agoThat is a good question, and thanks for helping me to test the limits of my argument. I would say that voyeurism, like all crime, can be expected to follow a spatiotemporal probability cloud. Society does not accept folks peering into your home and as an individual you have recourse. I think it is fuzzier as soon as you step out into public. I would definitely consider an airbnb or most other spaces that are outside my control to be public spaces. But the question of voyeurism is sort of distinct from my main question, which is how big is the risk? Do we have data on how many people are hurt by this issue?
