    Black Mirror had an episode about this.

    Surprised it took someone this long to actually make it.

    I forget the name of the episode. If you’re curious, it’s on Netflix, it’s in season 3, and it’s right before San Junipero. It was bleak AF, which is why the only happy (and arguably the best) Black Mirror episode came right after it.

      Yeah, with quite a plot twist. The entire time I was practically yelling at the tv “who cares, then let’s them release the video of you jerking off and own it. We all do it!” Then at the end, “… oh.”

        Right, the part I don’t get is, the video of you isn’t going to include what you’re looking at. And if it does you can say they faked it. They could put anything there. They don’t have a shot that includes both you and the screen. They can get sound though, so they can match sound, but that can be faked too. Strip out the audio. Separate the sounds of what you were really watching from the ambient sounds (and the grunts/moans from you) and then dub those sounds over the new audio and it should be passable.

        Also, I just wouldn’t do anything embarrassing with a camera pointed at me. I’d cover the camera or point it away from me. Even sitting on the toilet browsing, back cameras point down at the floor, front camera points up, maybe gets the top of my face? Nothing private is seen by the camera by my best intentions. I just do this naturally. I guess others don’t?

      It’s Shut Up and Dance, my fav

      the only

      I disagree. For starters there’s also

      Episodes from the first five seasons with happy endings (the way they're presented, at least), spoilers duh

      USS Callister Hang the DJ Be Right Back (though the stakes aren’t that high either) Arguably one from Bandersnatch

      Also, I don’t like San Junipero as much as others do because the final conflict goes way too fast and the way it was resolved felt abrupt. Still nice though

      RATs existed for a long time but you needed to manually hit record I think? I’m assuming this is just some extra automation.
