Shaoting walked into a clothing store in Xidan. She wants to buy a batwing coat.
Shop thirty or forty square meters, a little narrow. The innermost is the cashier, owner warmly from behind her. Shaoting watched and go inside. Meet satisfactory, just reach out and touch the fabric, feel the texture. Eventually, she picked up two, someone in the dressing room, she stood at the door, and waited in a mirror to his own body gestures.
Shaoting didn't think, she picked clothes in this whole process thousands of people in the computer or talk on the phone, and even challenged Shao Xuan clothes look, and started on the shop-owner at the cash register of a white camera. Camera through WIFI with a company called "drop live" Web site, as long as the log on its website or mobile App, you can view all the online broadcast. When Shao's colleagues told her when you see her in front of a live site, the less than 5-minute live broadcast has ended. Data show that there were 2,467 people browse, there are a lot of people like.
"I think there are so many eyes, rises behind a chill. "Shaoting, told the China News weekly.
Shaoting is just one of many live objects. Play games, hotel, drink coffee, studying in the classroom, or even street stop, as long as the camera Manager is willing to, are likely to share major broadcast real-time surveillance video on the site. Shaoting as the protagonist in the movie the Truman Show world, Trueman, and life was surrounded by countless cameras, all life is live, but don't know it.
Experts predict that the next 10 years, the screen will be everywhere, oversharing is bound to privacy challenges. Now, the brutal era of growth appears to have come early.
Why was I live
Lili recently has been pursuing a document called "15 of us" live show. 15 people from different backgrounds, migrant worker, doctor, boxers, retired Chief Financial Officer, was placed in a decorated with more than 120 cameras on the hills, all-weather and no dead angle to shoot.
Li love this show: the protagonists are ordinary people, circumstances are uncertain. He also wants to participate in such programs.
Lili completely unexpectedly, himself soon became in the eyes of others "actor". In pepper live on the site, Li sees himself in a shop I wolfed the spicy, right hand holding chopsticks, left pepper bottle out. He even clearly hear his voice, "some more chili."
"My jaw started off. "Li Li told China News weekly, described the mood at that time. "I did not knowingly take me, she even posted on the Internet. "Li thought for a moment, and finally came up with a word-violation of the right. He paused, "well, I had been violated. "
Li went to the shop owner theory, but of her disappointment. Shopkeepers told him that is in public areas of the hotel, not privacy issues. The software development programmer was speechless.
Similar video, burn the whole network. "The stability of our daily broadcast with 6,000, open every day (the camera) to more than 20,000. "Intelligent camera 360 market leader Zhang told China News weekly, drops live rely on 360 handheld cameras in 360 and development from March 31 till now, it has nearly 2 million units in shipments.
Drop live is just one of many live streaming platform, betta than its older, Chinese prickly ash, fluorspar ... ... Open water live page, you can see the craft shop, Star anchor, family status column, and each column, the corresponding with hundreds of videos, many of them in a round-the-clock live classrooms, homes, roads, shopping malls.
"Everyone has the potential to become a television station. "Zhang Hao, who tried to drop live into a live show. "Live today, you never know what's next. "In the view of Zhang Hao, live is a treasure to be excavated urgently," compared to Yu Weibo, micro-expressions, video has more impact. " Officials informed farmers were burned to death
However, the privacy problems with the new technology, in the eyes of developers have a different understanding. "This is not an invasion of privacy. "In broadcast platform, when people go into public space, there is no privacy, and private space cameras are entirely different concepts.
This theory is hard to convince shaoting and Li Li. Shaoting, while in a public place, store the guest and what's the right image to the public; Lili is outraged that he "sea food", into a "performance".
Their common questions is, are broadcast in public places: nobody?
Where is the bottom line
For live, some people hate deep, it was love.
Laura is one of them. At night, she will pick up the table below, will be ready to do it manually one by one set of clay. She made two good clay dolls. Then she began to adjust the camera, hoping to find a good live view, highlight manual, more important is their own.
Has just begun, comes alive on the screen of the phone. "Host, what to do today? "" Host, can I learn to do manual do you? "" Beautiful, would see a positive or not? "
Laura is a kindergarten teacher. Before the live broadcast which began each day after work hours to prepare lessons and to watch TV. One day she stumbled upon drop Live App. "I will finish classes in the daytime, and then browsing the Web to determine what to do in the evening. "Laura told the China News weekly.
Laura has been live for 4 months, with close to 3.3 million viewers, belongs to water droplets on live broadcast of the little-known master--if the time does not appear, there will be a lot of fans through letter calling her.
Live makes her a bit addictive. Laura called this "sense of concern."
"Some sites really live life, such as cooking, dancing, and some very yellow, very violent. "Shaoting says with a smile.
Live on Pepper's Web site, shaoting noticed a girl claiming to be pepper. This is a after the girl from Shandong, read music at a University in Beijing. Shaoting found in almost any occasion, small chili would live on mobile phones, dormitories, bathrooms, classrooms, rehearsal rooms.
"Do you not worry about their privacy being compromised? "Shaoting asked.
"I do not talk about privacy on the line. "Small peppers such a reply.
In some live on the Web, the most popular tend to be those with "sex" and "desire" banner of female anchor, in the video, they shouted to the audience a spoiled brat, dear voice, even requested by the audience to do something not very decent behavior.
"Is the challenge not only of the right to privacy, there are public ethical bottom line. "Law school of China University of Jiao Hongchang, Deputy Director of the China News weekly, said, technology has brought convenience to people sharing, but is constantly testing the bottom line of human, needed under certain constraints.
"As a mass media-inspired people to get rid of loneliness as well as power seeking attention and, ultimately, into action. "At the Institute of psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences researcher Zhu Tingshao, sought to live this way in fact is human curiosity and voyeuristic mentality at work. "Internet technologies is a peeping Tom technology. "Zhu Tingshao told China News weekly, it is difficult to Word this motivation if there is a problem, but it must be recognized that the new way is and the depth of people's lives.
Public also has the right to privacy
"These people, do they live? "Almost every broadcast station has such a message.
All become TV time, everyone may be broadcast. Lincheng xuchang, Henan is the head teacher of a school. In introducing the column he wrote: Welcome to my class, please comment.
Lincheng has a camera in the classroom. At first, lincheng just in order to monitor students and study of the situation, and later he found there "live" this feature. Lincheng students know the teacher in control of them, but I don't know that what has been put online.
Lincheng did not believe that it is a violation of student privacy, "I want more people to see my students. "
Zhang Hao also hold this view. In the course of their research and development, the technical team has consulted relevant experts, each other's answer is that most violations is portrait.
In 2009, Shanghai University of politics and law, Professor Tang Xiaotian completed a project, specialized public contradiction between monitor image collection and privacy protection. This is the first time such research. A premise of the study is that more and more cameras in public places in the city, public webcam installed and used with the contradiction between the right to privacy of citizens conflict.
Finally, research is one of the conclusions of the report: must not be in public places, citizens must sacrifice their privacy rights. Image monitoring purposes should be strictly controlled in the interests of public safety, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of citizens within the scope should not be allowed to use video surveillance and video.
"Monitoring of public space should be a space in the concrete situation, such as when there are Fireworks, when people began to gather, rather than a specific person. "Tang Xiaotian told China News weekly, but the broadcast, whether live or the viewers, its focus is the people inside, in essence they are videotaping or illicit peek.
In China, the violation of privacy of public space seems to be escalating along with the advances in technology. 2003 "Kiss" is representative. Shanghai Fuxing high school in the campus under the title not the civilization, focused on playing the videotaping some of the campus of the school does not exist, in which two students kissing classmates recognize in the video.
Wounded two students to the Court and request finds that Shanghai Fuxing high school violated their right to privacy, the right to honour and dignity. But the Court ruled that each played two intimate the plaintiff, is in the school of public, not private.
In fact, this concerns are screaming in the soup. Over the years, however, progress in the area of privacy in China is still unsatisfactory. "Until now, installed on public cameras going for approval or for the record, who can apply for installation, image how to manage monitoring data, these will still be gaps in the legislation at the national level. "Tang Xiaotian told the China News weekly said.
Fortunately, all over the past two years the image of public security management of information system in place, are clearly defined: retained the image outside the information except in accordance with the regulations, no person shall, without authorization, check out, copy, provide, disseminate, much less commercial.
"Monitor this for security purposes at the same time, it has a custodial obligation to obtain information, but cannot be used for commercial purposes, even if such use did not demean, discredit the nature of personality, but also violations of the right to personal privacy. "Tang Xiaotian said.
Makes the scene even more confusing in the private webcam. A few years ago, Tang Xiaotian had noted privately installed cameras in Beijing and Shanghai, there is a growing trend: some residents in order to protect their own interests, also in residential exterior wall spherical camera, door corridor installation, adjacent occupants and neighbors were living under the surveillance of others.
Tang Xiaotian did not expect, only with a 5-year period, technology developments made it into a national monitoring, are monitored for all times. On the technical front, law once again appeared lag. "Private of individual cameras cannot be counted as a monitoring system installed, are not within the scope of approval of the public security organs. "This naturally led to the gaps in the regulatory area.
In other countries, enjoy privacy in public places is a consensus. United States has long been recognized in judicial and legislative legitimacy of privacy in public places. In 1967, "Katz case", the United States Federal Bureau of investigation in the absence of a court before the "judicial writ" wiretapping case in the payphone, receive appellant Katz gambling information.
After the Supreme Court believes that the FBI electronically eavesdrop and record the appellant's conversation, violated the appellant when phone is in use "reasonable expectations of privacy." Monitor the evidence should be excluded.
In Tang Xiaotian's view, China should also make an image monitoring and information management of the law as soon as possible, for the construction, management and application of video monitoring system to provide legal guarantees, as well as to establish video surveillance of public places caused controversy solution mechanism, effectively protect the legitimate rights of the citizens in public places.
