I'm generally inclined to dislike these, but I do respect this decision:
"The capture LED light lets people know when you’re using the camera to capture content or going live. If the LED is covered, you will not be able to start recording, and you'll be notified to clear it."
- causi 3y agoI don't understand it myself. "I don't mind if people see X, but I'm bothered if they can prove it" is such a bizarre attitude to me.
- amalcon 3y agoI've known people who e.g. had justified worries about their children being kidnapped by a noncustodial parent. Someone in that situation doesn't necessarily mind if their neighbor sees their kid playing, but would mind quite a bit if said neighbor posted video of same to social media.

- JohnFen 3y agoThere's a rather enormous difference between people seeing a thing and people recording a thing and, even more impactfully, distributing that recording or using it to populate databases.
- hightrix 3y agoHave you truly never had a conversation or real world interaction with someone that you didn't want recorded and then posted to the internet?
- causi 3y agoIn public? Sure, but only because I was being an asshole, lying, or both.

- JohnFen 3y agoIt's better than nothing, but it's very, very far from adequate.
