I don't give a shit about the video quality or if it met your porn standards. That's irrelevant. What I know is if someone did that to my daughter 75 million would feel to cheap. And if you did it to my granddaughter I'd take your money and give it to someone to cut your dick and balls off. ISIS style. The hotel was culpable to the event. The 75 million is a good number because all the the hotels out there know they need to do all they can to keep this from happening on their property. It needed to be big enough to make the hotel industry shit their pants. Social engineering preventative training is common enough in corporate America. Saying the guy 'social engineered' his way in is just another point of failure by the hotel.
So what's the hotel supposed to do? Hire Blackwater mercs as hotel clerks? Fine if you don't mind paying $600 for a $100 room.
Very dramatic. You were so close to convincing me the hotel should skate on this. HOWEVER; The hotels don't have to hire new people; they need to train the people they have now how to protect customer personal information. The same employees that I assume get some kind of customer experience training - especially in the high end hotels. And you reinforce it on a regular basis, and make people accountable. It's a lot cheaper than 75 million. And this is about more than celebrity peep videos. It's about yours and mine personnel information being protected by businesses we trust with that information. Anyone screaming about the collection of cell phone meta data should be torching the Marriott. This is an invasion of privacy on a much greater level.
You're overlooking the fact of how stupid people are. I work with teachers and see SO many mistakes made/things said that get them in trouble with parents/admin due to a complete lack of common sense. All one has to do is look at how many idiots are still supporting Clinton. I disagree. An invasion of one's cell phone privacy can let you into their mind through things they text, etc. A peep hole in a wall, that aint shit. Many many people never stay in hotels at all, muchless high end ones.
I saw the video years ago. She was dancing around from what I remember. I thought at the time it looked like someone who knew someone was watching. I'm not suggesting she did know. That's just what I remember from seeing the video years ago. I also remember you couldn't really tell it was anything but a hot white blonde woman. If I didn't know it was her, it wouldn't have known it was her.
I dont think you know what the classification of "personal information" is. Hotel room number is most certainly not that.
Personal information is anything that can be linked to you individually. So DL#, and SS# are what people usually think of. But in retail data systems it also includes phone numbers and addresses. In case that information is not published, That hotel room number for that night was her address. The room number was also her phone number. Haven't you even asked the desk clerk for someone's room number and had the clerk tell you no but I'll ring them for you on the house phone. Why do you think that is? The hotel gave out information that allowed her personal privacy to be violated.
I said phone metadata, which is anonymous. This is far from anonymous. And its about more than a peephole. It's about a right to privacy.
I travel close to 50% for woek so I stay at a lot of hotels. They all give out room numbers. I'll ask which room coworker is in and boom. Room number. It's just a number. Harmless. The perp is the guy who does the crime.
