This specific product is backed by one of the largest corporations on the planet led by an absolute ruler who is at best amoral if not absolutely immoral, and has a long, long, long, long, long history of violating privacy, breaking promises regarding privacy,[1] and of refusing to accept responsibility of the consequences arising from doing so.

There are other amoral and immoral players out there, certainly. Few have Facebook's resources, however.

"The trust me, dumb fucks" still seems to be his guiding compass.

As for hidden cameras and unauthorised video: regulation is required. I'd suggest attacking the trade, transfer, and publishing of such video, as well as a strong right-to-privacy legislation. I'm not holding my breath, however.
