am i just paranoid or will this make it harder to get evidence of abuse etc. while being presented as a wholesome anti-phone-surveillance thing?
- Not debate bro'ing but Brock Turner was video taped wasn't he? The rampant toxic misogynistic culture doesn't really seem to care about being filmed and law enforcement and the judicial system don't either.
  
  I'd rather there be some way of at least presenting wrongdoing whether or not it's actually punished after it happens.
  
  Saying "it wasn't punished therefore stop trying" is a head-first dive into the is/ought realm of bad ideas.
- Fuck. There's layers to this that I, again, didn't think of before I read these comments. Yeah, forbidding any scrutiny could also be bad.
  
  Before knee-jerk "let people enjoy things" chants, I want to stress that not all fun that partygoes seek at parties is necessarily mutually consenting, or even directed toward conscious people.

- That's what I'm assuming as well
- That's why instead of stickers, we should have lens caps with an easy toggle mechanism.
  
  There's an argument to be made about a lens that is visibly disabled. Good faith and creepers aren't known to overlap
As someone who goes to clubs pretty regularly, I think this is pretty stupid tbh. If people want to record videos of the DJ instead of dancing, good for them.
Why not use the locked phone bags that Jack White forces people to use?
- I get it jn swingers clubs, but in regular clubs that just idiotic. Lost your friends? Get lost all night. Can't check uber prices or the line up time table, or the fucking clock.
  
  Nobody has clocks on their walls anymore
Germans do be some real freaks.
But what if you peel them off?
- I think they change color once peeled off and they check when you leave. I know that factories make people use these pretty frequently.
  
  check when you leave
  
  And then what? They swipe your phone?
- I assume you get kicked out, similar to someone drinking that doesnt have the right stamp or wristband or whatever in clubs that allow 18+ who cant drink
Fucking clownish that the world is so dominated by creepy techbros that it's a given that anyone's camera on anyone's phone takes pictures/video without the user's permission or awareness.

In a somewhat less fucked up world that shit would be a criminal act that would shut down the manufacturers.
- It's less about cameras recording clandestinely and more about people just being snitches and taping completely on purpose
  
  Oh, right. I forgot some people are voluntarily creeps with their cameras because it rarely crosses my mind.
  
  It seems it doesn't require prototype "Google Glass" treats for glassholes to be glassholes.
  
  they better check within the camera app after, I've got some with rear or front cameras relocated to the side/mic hole/3mm jack
Wonder if they remember to put it on front facing?
Nuke Ibiza partygoers
- Ibiza parties must be the nomiest EDM scene in the world.
