A person in China has been live-streamed by his neighbours without his knowledge.
Feng Dianwu, 62, also referred to as ‘Brother Min’, is known to be intellectually disabled, and lives alone in a small home in Cangzhou, since his parents died.
Cameras have been arrange in most rooms inside his home, which shows him going about his every day activities like feeding his chicken, relaxing, or going shopping.
But it surely has generated outrage online from individuals who say his privacy has been invaded.
One person wrote: ‘Feng doesn’t even know he is legendary. Have you ever ever asked if he’s OK with being filmed?’
The news bears a detailed resemblance to the film The Truman Show, starring Jim Carrey.
Within the film, the important character finds out that his entire life is a scripted reality show, with the entire world watching him unknowingly.
Feng suffered injuries to his face and vocal chords when he tried to defend one in every of his friends when he was young.

Locals in Cagzhou first began to film him in 2022 when a video of him gathering cabbage was posted online.
Since then, the surveillance of him has intensified and now his almost every move is consistently filmed, in accordance with reports.
While it’s claimed the cash made off these videos and streams is used to assist Feng with a view to improve his standard of life, it has raised questions on his privacy.
Following a growing online backlash, it appears that evidently the videos featuring Feng have been removed.
It is known that Feng has been moved away from the village by relatives, after a post on his home read: ‘Nobody is home’.
The case bears a detailed resemblance to a Japanese man who also lived a real-life Truman Show in 1998.
Tomoaki Hamatsu, higher referred to as Nasubi, took part in a game show called Denpa Shōnen, in a segment called ‘A Life in Prizes’.
But it surely took a disturbing turn when he was taken to a tiny apartment where he could only sustain himself through magazine sweepstakes, which he entered by filling out 1000’s of postcards.
He had no human contact apart from an occasional check-in.
Once he’d earned prizes price 1,000,000 yen he can be released and to everybody’s surprise, Nasubi endured the challenge for greater than a 12 months, surviving on half-cooked rice and pet food.
He had no clue he was being filmed and broadcast during weekly segments and was told the footage would air at a later date.
