Apple has patented a piece of technology which would allow government and police to block transmission of information, including video and photographs, from any public gathering or venue they deem “sensitive”, and “protected from externalities.”

In other words, these powers will have control over what can and cannot be documented on wireless devices during any public event.

2. Glad to find it here

cause I don't do Facebook.
Interesting how Apple and Micorsoft have been so helpful to police, at our expense.
Must really chap the ass of TPTB that they cannot control everything we see, hear, say and do....yet.

3. use another product?

Anti-capitalist types should be against using Apple products anyway. I never understood how "hipsters" couldn't see that contradiction.

I use recycled computers with Linux.
