Just like you don’t develop an encryption backdoor for “only the good guys”, you don’t develop features like these and expect them to be used only as intended.

Just like you don’t develop an encryption backdoor for “only the good guys”, you don’t develop features like these and expect them to be used only as intended. Keeping photos out of movie theaters might sound noble but this feature could be hacked by anyone who has a real problem with being photographed. Then there’s the fact that the simpler implementation is less likely to have bugs. Once there are 12 ways for the camera to be “off”, how many sources of bugs must be checked to be sure that the camera won’t turn off when it’s supposed to be available, or vice-versa?
