A Coldplay gig has gone viral after the CEO of Astronomer had his alleged affair with a colleague exposed on kisscam

The viral video is a reminder that the kiss cam was never really harmless — it simply belonged to a time when the consequences of public awkwardness were fleeting, and the footage vanished just as quickly.

"That privacy horse long ago left the barn; it's now in the next county being videoed doing dressage," an attorney told Newsweek.
