I understand that these videos were made public, but still this kinda feels like violating people’s privacy. They most likely never intended for us all to watch their personal videos a decade later.

A little bit tangent, and I'm definitely looking at it from rose colored glasses... but been playing with it for the 30 minutes, and most of the videos look so real? Like when you go on TikTok / Instagram nowadays, there are obviously unlimited amount of content.

http://www.insecam.org/ is another fun one. Random unsecured security cameras from around the world.
This site has the cookie permissions dialog which has "reject all", but I think this rejects only the "opt-in" cookies. The "legitimate interest" cookies, which are equally comprehensive but are on a different tab, are not rejected by this, and to reject them you have to turn each one of them off by hand, scrolling down a massive list. If you select "reject all", the dialog instantly closes, I think with the legitima…
