... What? Staged (or not; I doubt ppl suddenly stopped doing disgusting crap on the web) revenge porn isn't an over-engineered non-solution to a widespread (?) problem, so idk how it's similar.
Both android and crapple phones have mic & cam indicators nowadays, tho, and if a piece of software has a level of access high enough to bypass those, you kinda have bigger issues... Also, the webcam receives power by default currently; as the repo mentions, it's just another USB device (well, it's 3v3, and not 5v, but it doesn't really matter here)
Y'know the funniest part? Russian govt says the exact same fucking thing about the US, just replace magots and communists with, say, anyone who doesn't accept Putin as our lord and savior and Ukrainians (they were apparently planning to attack us all along 'cuz the US told 'em to or something).
It could be a very useful tool, indeed, but I wouldn't trust disphits who use "proprietary" as if its something to be proud of. If they really wanted to "protect the children", they should've at least released the weights, IMO (given releasing the training data is illegal as fuck)
I think so, but there can probably be some vendor-specific differences, like storing the image in a place that doesn't get overwritten. For example, thinkpads provide a way to supply your own image, and when installing updates after that you're asked if you want to keep it. But yeah, the update should neuter it anyways
