I mean, I see “leaked” videos of protests in authoritarian countries like China and just wonder why they dont just like make a backdoor that disables videos from being recorded. Or use some sort of 0-day exploit that installs malware on their phones and disable cameras.
I mean, I can’t be the only one that thought of it, right? Surely someone in the government would’ve thought of it.
Wonder why such tactic isn’t being used.
Nah they dont actually have the abilities for that. Especially not some street cop murdering puppies or shit like that.
They may. I really don’t know. We could go round and round about it, there are lots of arguments for both perspectives.
If a government does have this capability, they aren’t likely to use it on a whim and have it be exposed.
Nobody would give some idiot with one week training a EMP device or access to the CIA technology. This would result in the biggest Chaos imaginable.
