Absolutely disgusting. Who would intentionally broadcast this??? "Hey guys, I'm not home and won't be for a while, so please rob me!"

    It would be a great feature for someone who is being harassed by authorities like ICE and wants a public record to be available even if they are abducted or killed.

    But you'd have to go into it knowing that's happening. I wouldn't otherwise want this around for any other reason. Personally.

    Except that it'll also help ICE abduct and kill them...

    Would be a better feature in that situation if it could store the footage on a self hosted server with a dead man switch to publish the footage...
