@erikarn @varx @sprawlbug that does make sense, especially the malware angle, but i still think it's a little disingenuous on apple's part to advertise it specifically as a "privacy" feature—I think when most people are thinking about privacy, they mean "my activity is meaningfully private from advertisers, and even the vendor" not "bad actors can't access raw video/audio" (as a consumer, i would be pleased to learn that a device offers the former, and would just assume it promises the latter)
