Shouldn't this be entirely avoidable using FOSS software? Once people review the code, there shouldn't be any issue of the sort.
And for the code I imply from the kernel, to the OS and to the apps, system or not.
I'm not at all surprised that authoritarian politicians would want features like this. From a technical perspective, though, I'm curious about how they would go about implementing them. Would they integrate backdoors into widely used apps with camera access, like WhatsApp? Or would they rely on exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities in operating systems?
