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.
A government could mandate that a company, like Apple, must install a remote deactivation and give access to that feature to the government.
There is no knowing if they already do, because there hasn’t been a good reason to use it, that we know of; it wouldn’t be impossible to make people disappear who have experienced such a thing.
