Hong Kong Man Finds His Sex Tape Circulated in Illegal Spy-Cam Chats
A Hong Kong man identified as Eric says he and his girlfriend were secretly filmed having sex in a Shenzhen hotel, and the clip appeared in illicit spy-cam chats marketed as porn. BBC reports note thousands of similar videos circulated on sites and Telegram, which is often used for distributing such content despite China’s bans; a trader linked to the material profited from it. Telegram says it forbids non-consensual porn and moderates content. The couple are traumatized, and the story underscores ongoing privacy violations and the global illicit spy-cam market amid China’s crackdown on obscene material online.
