The leader of a surveillance state taking precautions for privacy, how ironic!

Maeve@kbin.earth on 27 Aug 12:51 collapse

I was just thinking it may be good practice for all of us.

What really sends me is that in the bottom images the orange cover is tailored to the lenses and keeps the flash exposed, instead of just taping over the whole thing with one big ass rectangle

robot_dog_with_gun@hexbear.net on 27 Aug 10:53 next collapse

i can’t tell if it’s once piece or three little squares overlapping

webghost0101@sopuli.xyz on 27 Aug 11:08 next collapse

Flashlight is still useful.

It chases away the ghosts of all the people he’s murdered.

It’s really just 2 pieces of tape crossed

I’m wondering if this just promotes their vulnerabilities more than anything.

The orange blur for the camera is very specific.

magnue@lemmy.world on 27 Aug 11:01 next collapse

Hey @grok use common sense to answer my question.

RodgeGrabTheCat@sh.itjust.works on 27 Aug 12:09 next collapse

Benny should be using gaffers’ tape (that doesn’t leave glue on the lens when removed) instead of house wrap tape.

technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 27 Aug 18:53 collapse

when removed

I don’t think this is a concern.

birdwing@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 27 Aug 12:19 next collapse

why should we promote the fascist’s tiny dick fake news creator?

Darkard@lemmy.world on 27 Aug 13:16 next collapse

He should wrap some tape around his mouth and nose.

You know, to stop state secrets getting out.

eldavi@lemmy.ml on 27 Aug 20:11 next collapse

but then he wouldn’t be able to make any :p

I remember when Obama was reading everyone’s emails and spying on everybody, the Brazilian president was using a 3DS to take photos LMAO

grey_maniac@lemmy.ca on 27 Aug 19:41 next collapse

What was your purpose in including the subclause about Obama? It wasn’t necessary to the observation, as far as I can tell.

ZeroHora@lemmy.ml on 27 Aug 19:50 collapse

Because gives the read the timeslot when that happened? It was during the Obama government, after Edward Snowden.

ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml on 28 Aug 07:31 collapse

How else was he (she? when was this?) gonna take 3D pictures

Considering that some of the biggest companies hacking smartphones are in Israel and were founded by ex-Israeli Military, I’m sure he’s very well informed about the remote activation and use of smartphones as eavesdropping devices.

Also he probably doesn’t want other to have on them the kind of blackmail material Israel has been using against European and American politicians to make them do whatever is best for Israel even against the wishes of their own Public Opinion.

Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net on 27 Aug 21:02 collapse

Your first mistake is imagining US politicians actually give two shits about public opinion.

Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 27 Aug 21:38 collapse

In all fairness, I was thinking mostly of European politicians and added the Americans there for completeness.

I suspect that in America the politicians are mainly just bought (via, for example AIPAC campaign contributions) and any blackmailing that’s needed is done by using the recordings made by a Mr J. Epstein.

Does he pack gum into the mic holes?

FineCoatMummy@sh.itjust.works on 27 Aug 20:11 next collapse

Reminds me of how Zuck spent $110M buying all the homes around the one he wanted, to maintain HIS privacy. And then he had the city change zoning codes so he could stitch all 11 houses he bought into a single private compound.

I know I’m going out on a limb here. But I betcha almost nobody reading this thread can drop $110M buying out a whole neighborhood to get privacy, and then spend a couple years of heavy equipment and crew time to rebuild it.

Extreme example? Yah. But lots of smaller examples too, down here at normal ppl levels of money. You want privacy? It’ll cost. Privacy becomes a luxury for the well off.

Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works on 28 Aug 08:19 next collapse

Too bad he can’t afford a better case.

One might think he’s a fucking goddamn idiotic evil shit if he could.

So, if John Evil, CEO of Evil is covering his iPhone cameras, uh… should us peasants do so as well? I’ve occasionally noticed my mic or camera indicator activate on iOS without me using them and I’m very particular about apps and permissions… I’ve chocked it up to being a bug from my older OS version…

(No, I don’t want to use an iPhone. I’m poor, it was cheap with a phone plan.)
