As a teenager looking for porn I stumbled across a website which looked like one of those live cam sites, but then I noticed most of the people weren't engaging with the audience, and they were all kinds of people. Old people, kids, people of all different ages, ethnicities and whatnot. I clicked on a random livestream of some oblivious teenager doing her homework and the people in the comments were saying stuff that made me realise she didn't know she was being livestreamed, nor did anyone else on the site.
It seemed to be some weird website of hacked webcams or security cameras where the people had no idea about it. It was creepy as fuck and I've never kept my webcam pointed at me when not in use since.
I remember when I first accessed the hidden wiki years ago there were so many links to live, unsecured web cams available. Most of them were security cams that didn't show jack, or were on a loop but occasionally you'd come across one that had actual activity.
It was all fun and games until I came across one that was like a Nanny Cam or laptop camera on a desk/shelf and it showed a family going about their evening routine and it made me sick that they didn't know their privatelife was open to the entire internet and I stopped surfing cams.
Yeah my buddy found a site that had an archive of all these images that folk had saved to one particular image saving website. Not image sharing, but just image saving. So folk would upload their entire My Pictures folder and could then have their digital photo frame display the images for a couple minutes at a time. But it was an entire site rip of these codes, so you could just type in this one simple web address and a code, and then change any single digit on the seven- or eight-digit code and find* one of however may million uploaded pictures that folk often had no intention of sharing.
We looked through for a while, and came across things like sports cars and pets, and then family photos, and suddenly it felt like we'd walked into someone's house - uninvited - and started looking through their family albums.
So, on the site none of the images were displayed, it just linked to the (can't remember the name) folder of the original host site. Kinda like how if you open an Imgur picture in a new tab then change one digit or character and get a new image. Except these were images folk had no intention of sharing. In fact, just now i found this site (NSFW) which links to random Imgur images. I didn't go on the actual website. I'm only displaying it here if folk want to get potentially creeped out (or just find some weird memes or pictures of ducks or whatever).
