"Dear Apple, Don't Shut Down My Phone Camera"

``Apple wants to patent a sensor that would detect when people use their phone cameras, and give corporations the power to shut them down. Apple says this new technology was designed to stop concertgoers from taking unofficial video at live events. But thousands of people across the Middle East have used cellphone cameras to document violent government abuses. This technology would also give tyrants the power to stem the flow of protest videos and crack down on their citizens with impunity.''
