I mean, I see “leaked” videos of protests in authoritarian countries like China and just wonder why they dont just like make a backdoor that disables videos from being recorded. Or use some sort of 0-day exploit that installs malware on their phones and disable cameras.
I mean, I can’t be the only one that thought of it, right? Surely someone in the government would’ve thought of it.
Wonder why such tactic isn’t being used.
The only thing that they could do quickly is have the towers shut down or bring a hammer. But both of those require more then just a for fun ask. Also street cops usually don’t have access to CIA level exploits. Look at what happened with stingray cell towers, local cops got access and people got wise to it since they overused it and used it for low level crimes.
Not true. Have you never heard of IMSI catchers?
Stingrays = Kleenex of IMSI catchers
