On a warm evening, a young girl gets into an Uber where the driver informs her that he will be live-streaming during the ride. She does not mind as long as she is not in the range of his phone’s camera. Will the driver treat his female passenger fairly? This is a story full of surprising and not-so-obvious twists and turns that raises questions about the limits of safety and morality resulting from ubiquitous cameras. Do CCTV or lenses in private phones guarantee a quicker response in emergency situations or are they an excuse for more voyeurism?
