They'd probably take the Volkswagen strategy:
Team A builds a feature that detects when the device is in a localized area. (This already exists)
Team B builds a feature that disables the camera. (I could see this being a parental control)
Both features are reasonable by themselves. It's when they are combined that they become an issue. The trick is that Teams A and B don't know of each other's existence.
- enitihas 6y agoSomeone would have to add their integrations though. The features won't be joined magically together.
- DaiPlusPlus 6y agoThere are enough qualified amoral mercenary devs out there who would be willing to do it - and keep quiet about it.
- storedbox 6y agoI'm sure they can find at least one willing asshole.
- loltyler1 6y agog e n i u s I had a similar idea about bioweapons the other day
- fiblye 6y agoThere are also countless people who’d gladly knowingly sign up to implement such a feature. No need to try some roundabout way when all you need to do is feel out the political leanings of a couple guys in the office then recruit them for a secret project.
- PappaPatat 6y agoTIL the expression "the Volkswagen strategy" and I love it. Thanks, I'll be using that.
