Warning: This story contains some offensive language
So-called spy-cam porn has existed in China for at least a decade, despite the fact that producing and distributing porn is illegal in the country.
But in the past couple of years the issue has become a regular talking point on social media, with people - particularly women - swapping tips on how to spot cameras as small as a pencil eraser. Some have even resorted to pitching tents inside hotel rooms to avoid being filmed.

There’s a LOT of that stuff online. I dunno how they get away with it. Sometimes it’s like all in the same room, eventually someone is gonna know
Where IS Tamara, dude? You sound like an expert 🤣
It’s a movie reference. One that you clearly missed. Keep trying hard.
I’ve missed it too. What the fuck is it even a reference to?
I am wondering this also. Several DDG searches returned nothing that seemed relevant.
They wiped out all the non professional porn awhile ago. 90% of it so was deleted over night. Everything is tied to an onlyfans or studio now
They? Are you talking about pornhub? According to the article, this clearly wasn’t pornhub.
Pornhubs parent company owns like 95% of all pornsites that host porn videos. When they scrubbed their content, everything trickled down. This video is in China. It’s an entirely different system there.
What are you on about, Did you read the article mate?
These sites are paid for and you get links from telegram. This is in China. They haven’t allowed unverified porn on the internet for awhile now.
That clarified absolutely nothing for me 😅
Yes it did. What needs further clarification. I told you what is in the article and what I’m on about. Be more detailed next time
‘yes it did’ oh, ok then 👍
There are independent porn sites that still have user uploaded content like the good ole days.
Maybe like forums where you need to be a member. But even the smaller sites are all mostly owned by the same company. They all pull from the same source it’s just different categories. The days of user created porn haven’t been a thing for a while.
I see new stuff all the time on public sites. I suppose it depends on what you’re looking for.
None of the sites are corporate. None of them have paid memberships. It’s all ad based if anything.
I bet you don’t notice it but they’re mostly all tied to an onlyfans somewhere. It was an effort by the porn sites to remove them. Anything that wasn’t verified is purged
Oh sure there are a good number of OF watermarks. I should be more clear, this isn’t women. Women don’t do get nude for free haha. This is dudes, and we all know dudes will have sex on camera for free.
What/where are these sites? Asking so that, you know, I can avoid going there ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I mean, it’s all dicks no pussy. You sure? Lol
Ah, now that there’s the rub
(pun intended)
Drumroll Ching!
Aaaand you’ve got my attention.
I don’t like video tho, just pictures, so I followed Tumblr till it went down and then NewTumbl until it went down and now a third-gen clone that doesn’t have anywhere near the niches but is getting better, and pretty soon it’ll go down too.
Oh yeah RIP tumblr, I miss that lol. Remember when you could search for “[dirty thing] tumblr” haha
because the ‘actors’ could not be verified they were of appropriate age, or if they had consented to being in mass distributed pronography. it was a needed change, which is why i think putting restriction on the access to porn is a bad idea, because only the closest thing to reputable sites will honor the demand, leaving only the skuzziest of options available
I just miss user generated content. Not just a porn thing. I get what you’re saying. But you’re essentially what I hate about the internet. What you’re saying means mass commercialization. Everywhere must be a seller and we are buyers. I prefer the internet when it was regular people creating things.
Isn’t there a method using your camera flash to detect cameras?
Joke's on you. I'm into flash porn.
Share bud, there’s ladies living in tents in hotel rooms. I’m considering it.
Hell, living in hotel rooms sounds intense enough as it is.
I suppose you could theoretically utilize the flash functionality in an attempt to catch some sort of glare/reflection back from the hidden camera’s lens… maybe? This is just a guess, however, tbh, and I have my doubts of its efficacy against the borderline frighteningly tiny lenses in use on more modern equipment that is designed specifically to be hidden. The pricier gear could (potentially) even utilize special coatings or treatments intended to mitigate such a detection method for that matter, as there’s clearly no shortage of money surrounding the… “industry,” for lack of a better term.
I certainly wouldn’t consider it a reliable test, that’s for sure
Rather than a flash, you could turn it on as a flashlight to look for reflections from hidden can lenses.
You can also point your phone camera around to look for the IR led on a hidden camera. Note that the rooms lights should be turned off and any curtains closed for this to make sure the hidden camera goes to “nighttime” mode. You can check if your phone will work for this using a good old fashioned remote control with an IR led and see how well its picked up by your phone.
You can also use your phone to check for WiFi networks that seem suspicious.
Don’t forget Bluetooth. I have a handy app called “Bluetooth scanner” which scans for Bluetooth signals.
It creates a list with the names of the devices it finds, plus other info like the device’s internal name, vendor name, BT address, signal strength, protocol and so on.
It even has a feature which helps you find the device based on changes in signal strength as you walk around.
The theory is to detect infrared light for the cam who utilise infrared night vision, but from the article it seems that they don’t use that at all, so when the light’s out no one can view anything. This might be the reason why it went undetected.
That’s one method, also camera sensors have a retro-reflective effect that makes using a camera flash highlight other cameras in its field.
the real trick is to be a fat ugly American.
There’s a kink for that.
Where? I’ll make an account and share for a bit of cash…
One option discussed in the article is pitching a tent in the room to avoid being seen. Sounds extreme but honestly might be worth it as these cameras get harder and harder to spot
Pitching a tent when I was in high school didn’t help me not be seen.
Care to elaborate?
Edit: never mind, i got it… lol

Exhibitionists: which hotel?
Voyeurs: which website?
Oh my god, so disgusting! Which site?

Good sex though?
Didn’t read the whole article but first thought - he was fine viewing others but upset when he was filmed?
Yeah what a hypocrite lmao
Could have thought the people knew about it.
I thought it might be possible that he thought they were staged, but it sounds like the practice is well known and you know what you’re paying for.
Not to disregard the issue, but the ISI does the same thing to generate blackmail.
Although considering the epstein files, that almost seems tame in comparison.

That’s usually how it gets started

I have to wonder what would offense such an audience. Or put them at risk of something….
Maybe just put Disney films on and let the cameras illegally rebroadcast that. Let Disney fight them.
