You've probably seen the videos going viral at the moment that show random acts of kindness. Whether it's a bunch of flowers for a surprised stranger, or paying someone's entire shopping bill. These videos are then posted online for millions to see. 

But, is it truly kind to post a video without the subjects consent? What are the impacts? 

On this episode of The Quicky, we speak to Dr Clare Southerton, a lecturer in Digital Technology and Pedagogy at La Trobe University about how uploading a video of someone could change how they live.
