I'd expect Amazon product safety people to know what these are. Spycams have been widely advertised for decades, often overtly targeted specifically for use of spying on women.
For example, pretty early in Web history (before WiFi and then IoT were popular), "X10" cameras were advertised heavily: https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~kuan/x10.html https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~kuan/x10.html
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 3y agoI mean it's a spy camera that only makes sense in a bathroom. There's even a showerhead one sold on Amazon. I'm not even sure it's humanly possible to look at one of these and not realise the primary use case is criminal. The only conclusion I'm left to draw from this is either that no actual review takes place, or that the review is merely there to ascertain "is this product literally illegal right now?"
- autoexec 3y agoYou can create convoluted excuses for the showercam too. For example, cases where you wanted to keep an eye on a babysitter while they bathed your child or a nurse or caretaker bathing an adult/elderly family member who was disabled.
- lakpan 3y agoPh-lease! You don’t need to be that damn close to “keep an eye on”, and actually I don’t think you’d really want to be that close.
- isk517 3y agoHoly crap, that one that flat out says 'We are not responsible for what you do with this camera'. Usually that is something they slip into the fine print, not make the main point of the advertisement.
