Apple was granted a patent for the manufacture of your device refuses to record what it is to see if it also sees something that looks like an infrared strobe light. The intention is to prevent the recording concerts, but once the technology exists, it will also be used by the authorities who do not want violence and power abuse documented by members of the public the police.
It is fascinating how some industry players continue to erode property rights which are not only vital to the economy, but the concept of running the software we want, in the way we want, on the material we have. If there were no own hardware, free software - including cryptography and anonymization - would not work, as Hollywood would own your equipment, something they have tried for decades. We could not VPNs, we could not Tor we not have a strong encryption. We could have essentially just pay-as-you-go Disney Channel
This is what Apple game plays with his latest invention, which uses something similar to an infrared strobe light -. Apparently, not unlike devices that give emergency vehicles green lights at intersections - to prevent a mobile phone from recording what he sees. The idea is to prevent people from recording concerts -. To use their own hardware to run the software they want on it, in violation of the principle of free software zeroeth
However, it does not take a genius to realize that there are many legitimate uses for filming with a mobile camera when the subject do not want to film. Most of them have to do with the responsibility of a certain type. And now, if this technology is implemented, Apple gives these people a way to avoid being documented abuse their power -. sometimes violently abusing their power
journalism, by definition, is publishing something anyone will not be published. Everything else is just PR.
He will take up to three months before the Chinese manufactured belt clip devices would be available that mimicked this infrared strobery and therefore all closed and all cameras see in the frame. At this point, police officers do not want to be filmed by the public - that police unions have argued repeatedly that they do not want to be filmed - will have a way to replace the cameras pointed at them, just wearing a discreet device on their belt. This is a step of twenty years backward in the responsibility and freedom of information.
As a final note, it is fascinating to see how the copyright industry is still and always argue for the same ways as do dictatorships and tyrannies . The copyright industry has strongly argued in favor of the European data retention and mass surveillance, in favor of private access to mass surveillance data in favor of censorship, and so on - and now, the purpose of the copyright industry are used to justify the creation of something that prevents hold the authorities responsible for the violent abuse. Why the copyright industry is always, always, on the opposite side to human freedom and to encourage government oppression?
