[ExI] privacy again

[Tara Maya]

The person who took the video should be found and sent to prison, not merely sued. But the amount of money involved is not based on “hotness” …it’s based on what would be a deterrent. A lot of money can be made from such videos, and it that means that if the punishment isn’t severe, nothing will be done to stop it.

A nude video being taken is a huge violation. It’s a form of sexual assault. It’s not some funny little prank.

It could be set up to receive a call and turn on at any time, and Skype the video to any remote receiver, with very little risk of getting caught and not much cost really.  So are we now saying the hotel chain is responsible for find that?  In the meantime, are we cool with it that all assured privacy in any public place, any public restroom and any hotel room is
