Makes sense and I can see this becoming a global trend if it's not already. But the irony of the news agency taking and posting their photo/video is a facepalm.

EDIT: I can foresee a dark future where surveillance video is monetized for such salacious purpose and it becomes inescapable as the cameras are everywhere.



Could be worse than that. With all of the facial recognition and videoing that's going on by the government, if the police wanted to, they could insert you into any footage committing any crimes they want.


That is the dark present in South Korea as they have a huge problem with cameras hidden in hotel rooms and even toilets :-/
