S5, E194 - Japanese Hotel's $1 Stay Raises Privacy Concerns

Send us a text


This week on Privacy Please, we talk about Tetsuya Inoue, manager
of Asahi Ryokan Hotel, who introduced a unique strategy allowing
guests a $1 stay in exchange for live-streaming their entire
visit. Despite the project's conclusion, it gained popularity,
highlighting the changing attitudes of younger generations
towards privacy. The success also brings attention to the broader
implications of sacrificing personal privacy for innovative
business models, particularly as hidden cameras in holiday
rentals become more prevalent. This case prompts a critical
discussion on data privacy in an era where technology
increasingly infiltrates daily life.
