Firstly, please get rid of the caps in the title (and the spelling error). :(
Anyway, I'm not sure how this is spyware. Properly implemented, this is no different than systems that already exist to take photos of someone when they have stolen your device. I think the EFF should wait until this is actually implemented (or not!) and then see what the actual end result of it is.
- lwhi 16y agoThis is literally spyware; 1. It aims to function without the user's knowledge. 2. It aims to collect data about the user for use by a third party.
- Xuzz 16y agoIs the user, in this case, a thief? If so, and it's a switch you enable, it seems pretty benign to me. (But, before discussing this more: it's not spyware -- or anything -- if it only exists in a patent application.)
