Not trying to victim blmae here but the guy literally was looking for this type of porn, him being okay with others being spied on, but now that they recorded him, he suddenly thinks it's a bad thing?

The guy's a fucking hypocrite at the very least

"OMG, spy-cam porn is people!"

Yeah, most people would have realized that before discovering they were a victim of it. Excuse me for empathizing more with the many that were not consuming it.

This is actually so disgusting. Have to wonder if shit like this is (or will start) happening elsewhere too. Guess I'm gonna be paranoid in hotels from now on. :|

EDIT: briefly searching indicates it's common in South Korea too. Not sure if it's just more common in Asia right now or what. Seems like most of the articles about the West I'm finding are about cameras in bathrooms and shit (not that that's better...).

But he experienced what it feels like to be at the opposite end of the supply chain when he found the video of himself and his girlfriend "Emily" - and he no longer finds gratification in this content.

Oh, now he decides to have empathy.

I find the wording of the article to be remarkable. “At the opposite end of the supply chain.”

Eric (not his real name) was no longer just a consumer of China's spy-cam porn industry, but a victim.

A “consumer” who has admittedly been watching this type of “spy cam” footage for twenty years (since he was a teen, according to the article) and never once thought “wait, what if that was me?”

Then when he grows a conscience in his thirties he contacts the BBC.
