Ethical or not?
Hi,
I was browsing the other day and came across this
Max, feel free to correct me if i am wrong.
The general theme is an application will run as a Service that will capture images through a built in web cam. The reason behind it is that it would capture images every 5 seconds and send them to a secure server and if the hardware gets stolen then the police can use the images to ascertain who has the device also using positioning devices to help locate the hardware.
My thought is that this could get used for other purposes that would not be legal. I don't like the thought that the images are being captured and sent as it could very easily capture me in a compromising position.
More concerning is that the device could be used by a minor <16 who is totally unaware and thus it may capture them in a state of undress. I would add that this may then mean that to service provider would be guilty of producing indecent images of a minor. (this would be my biggest concern)
What are the thoughts of the general community ?
Max whatever the outcome of this i wish you all the best with your project, Good luck.
Thanks
David
