Do you think it's ethical? Does anyone of you practice it, or have practiced it?

i think its wonderful my sister in law lives far away from her parents so they bought her and themselves video cams and now they can see their grandchildren when there talking to them, children grow and change so fast so they can see this for real instead of just in pictures, also when children are young they will forget people and this way they will be able to see their grandparents and be able to recognize them when they do get to see them. i think there will always be people who abuse such things, i know at my university some poeple would try to sneak video cams into peoples rooms to be able to record them undressing and catch other personal moments so im mixed in my view, as the govenment and police are getting caught up to date with the technology explosion i think it will get better, in ontario last week a cop was online in a chat room watching for anthing breaking the law and saw a young child being sexually abused in real time, the man was arrested and will be convicted for sure because there is concrete proof against him, so while technology in general provides more room for criminal acts it also allows for concrete proof and may lead to more convictions of people commiting these crimes, good discussion to start + for it
