"after an investigation by Swedish newspapers found that workers at a Kenya-based subcontractor are reviewing footage from customers’ glasses, which included sensitive content, like nudity, people having sex, and using the toilet."

The perverts here are the subcontractors, presumably watching user's private footage, that they should not be able to see. I'd imagine the same shit is happening when people use their phones to do the same and the footage is backed up to the cloud. Perverts end up watching it.

What am I missing?

The perverts are the people who recorded that footage of others without consent. Or are you assuming highplainsdem Yesterday #13

It's certainly possible that it was recorded with consent, yes AZJonnie Yesterday #14

It's possible, but certainly not guaranteed, that the recording was consensual. But not everyone will highplainsdem Yesterday #16
