Chinese Couple Sues Train Company Over Video Surveillance
A young Chinese couple is planning to sue a train company after CCTV footage of their prolonged farewell kiss in a Shanghai station was broadcast on the internet. It is not clear how film of the embrace made its way from the subway station's closed circuit television onto YouTube, but more than 60,000 people have now watched the clip on the video sharing site. Three voices can be heard on the clip speaking in the local Shanghai dialect laughing and making lewd comments. The couple, unnamed but thought to be in their 20s, said they were furious that the video had embarrassed them and violated their privacy.
