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.
They may. I really don’t know. We could go round and round about it, there are lots of arguments for both perspectives.
If a government does have this capability, they aren’t likely to use it on a whim and have it be exposed.
