Probably assuming 'If he's watching, he could be recording. If he's recording, he could publish it. If published, there goes my and my family's entire social life', sure that might be a bit extreme interpretation, but it's not wrong per se. If they don't get what they want, they are liable to publish it unless morals, conscience , losing the footage or geting caught. In a way, it's like revenge porn (except that they weren't a couple ), and that should've become a sort of crime the last few years.
