The thin line separating Big Government and Big Business is becoming less and less discernible as new technologies expand the scope of both parties’ intrusive capabilities.
While such modern marvels as laptops and cell phones have given people greater access to information and made life more convenient overall for them, they also present opportunities for powerful actors to exert greater control over others. A recent example is Apple’s acquisition of a patent for a technology that will almost definitely be used against ordinary people.
The tech in question takes the form of a camera, not unlike the ones included on most smartphones these days. Unlike most cameras, however, the patent’s camera is able to detect infrared signals and read data from them. It is Apple’s hope that these signals can be used to manipulate the camera into not recording events such as concerts and movie screenings, a good thing for film and record companies but a bad thing for Americans who will have their phones’ already-fragile security situations further compromised.

They should remember that there are several different makers of smartphones ! And the gap between them is getting very small.
Do not use apple phones. That will solve the problem.
F**k Apple… Get an Android!
Isn’t that CENSORSHIP!
Boycott Apple and anyone else that thinks its legal to stifle the first amendment.
Thank God for the good ole fashioned camera – did they forget about that little device? No matter what they try their corruption will be exposed just like the FBI 911 recoding from Orlando, how stupid do they think people are, they must have us confused with the libtards. Make sure everyone brings a camera to the Republication convention because that’s where Obama will have black lives matter cause chaos and everything needs to be filmed for the world to see – that’s right the hackers got the information from the blm leaders meeting that Obama had with them at the White House to torture our country – could you believe that – and you thought$#%&!@*was bad? He is Satan. Wake up America this is our last chance.
I have a video camera and my Gameboy takes pictures, so does my little digital camera and it has video, I don’t have a phone.
Time to dust off the dinosaurs (film cameras)
Doesn’t seem like a very good idea.
Sell all Apple.
