Have you ever fantasized about making a pot of tea and enjoying a quiet time without being disturbed in a homestay away from the hustle and bustle? But have you ever thought that under this tranquility, there may be a pair of eyes that you can't see, silently recording your every move? Recently, countless homestay lovers have sent chills down the spine of a video circulating online in which a guest is unknowingly spied on by cameras installed all over the room. This is not just an individual case, it is like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples and making people ask: can our privacy still be placed in the homestay?
In-depth excavation, black industry exposure
Former homestay owner Xiaoli (pseudonym), an entrepreneur who was once passionate about the homestay industry, has now become a "whistleblower" who exposes the shady scenes of the industry. She told us that the candid photography of homestays is not a new thing, but a hidden and huge gray industry chain. "Those seemingly warm decorations may hide eyes that spy on your life." Xiaoli's voice was full of helplessness and anger. She revealed that in order to make huge profits, some unscrupulous hosts do not hesitate to install pinhole cameras in their rooms, and obtain huge income by selling or live streaming candid videos. What's even more terrifying is that these videos can also be uploaded to pornographic sites and become a tool for criminals to make profits.
Netizens are hotly discussed, and there are different opinions
As soon as this incident came out, netizens exploded. Someone said angrily: "This is simply a trampling on the bottom line of human nature!" Some people are also worried: "Is it safe to stay in a homestay in the future?" Some people even appealed: "These voyeurs must be severely punished, and we must be given a clear accommodation environment!" "In the wave of public opinion, it is not difficult to find that the public has a zero-tolerance attitude towards clandestine photography of homestays, as well as an urgent need for industry supervision.
The industry saves itself, and the sun shines into the shadows
In the face of a crisis of confidence, the B&B industry is not indifferent. A number of well-known B&B platforms responded quickly, saying that they would strengthen the audit and conduct strict background checks and equipment inspections on the settled businesses to ensure that there is no hidden danger of clandestine photography. At the same time, government departments have also stepped up their efforts to crack down on illegal and clandestine photography, weaving a dense protective net from legislation to law enforcement. However, in order to completely eradicate this stubborn disease, it is necessary to work together inside and outside the industry, from improving technical prevention capabilities to strengthening legal publicity and education.
