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.

      Lol its not new. I once saw on reddit that apple filed a patent that allows concerts to emit a signal to prevent recording because… reasons…

      Then people in the comments were like “Police could misuse this”

      I mean I could see why the US couldn’t do this. Constitution stuff and all, but just wonder why dictatorships don’t just do it, they have all the power to.
