The leader of a surveillance state taking precautions for privacy, how ironic!
I was just thinking it may be good practice for all of us.
I remember when Obama was reading everyone’s emails and spying on everybody, the Brazilian president was using a 3DS to take photos LMAO
How else was he (she? when was this?) gonna take 3D pictures
What was your purpose in including the subclause about Obama? It wasn’t necessary to the observation, as far as I can tell.
Because gives the read the timeslot when that happened? It was during the Obama government, after Edward Snowden.
He should wrap some tape around his mouth and nose.
You know, to stop state secrets getting out.
but then he wouldn’t be able to make any :p
And air
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.
Your first mistake is imagining US politicians actually give two shits about public opinion.
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.
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.
Hey @grok use common sense to answer my question.
Why ask grok?
Trained by Netanyahu
On the Epstain files
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
Flashlight is still useful.
It chases away the ghosts of all the people he’s murdered.
The universal need to use your phone as a flashlight to find the light switch at 2am.
i can’t tell if it’s once piece or three little squares overlapping
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.
Does he pack gum into the mic holes?
why should we promote the fascist’s tiny dick fake news creator?
I’ve been covering my cameras with tape for a long time. If you wanna get fancy with it, the EFF sells laptop camera stickers: https://shopeff.org/products/laptop-camera-cover-set-ii
That product picture sure looked like a phone being covered
It’s just a normal sticker, so it would work on pretty much anything. I think of it more as a way to donate to a group that I like, as well as good advertising for them.
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.)
Benny should be using gaffers’ tape (that doesn’t leave glue on the lens when removed) instead of house wrap tape.
You’d think someone would make a case that has a door that can slide shut to cover the camera when needed.
They do. I have one on my phone.
No need for a door. Dude is in constant hiding.
when removed
I don’t think this is a concern.
