Live Streaming Risks

Live streaming video online has become increasingly popular in China. However， some people worry that it may lead to problems including leakage of private information.

According to a survey conducted by China Youth Daily， 78.4 percent of the 2，001 people interviewed worried about the risk of privacy leaks when they were involved in live streams.

“One of my friends was live streaming about fi rst-year college students at the beginning of the new semester. He suddenly turned the camera on me and introduced me to the audience，” said Zhang Lin， a university student， who previously appeared in live streams hosted by others. “I was so embarrassed to be involved.”

According to the survey， over 40 percent of those interviewed had appeared in other peoples live streams.

“The audience may be able to obtain my personal information， like my name， address or phone number， if they have my picture. Thats why I dont want to take part，” Zhang said.

However， some people said they would be happy to be invited to participate in live streams.

“I will join in a live stream if someone invites me and actively interact with the audience，” said Yue Xiaobo， who also hosts his own live streams.

However， only 21 percent of the people surveyed said they would be happy to take part in a live stream if someone turned the camera on them. Over 70 percent said they would refuse to take part.
