@PawelK @mangeurdenuage Regarding the video, I had that issue with Discord that I had to use it in University.

Discord is comparable disaster imho, although I wasnt aware of its camera access leaking specifically.

It could be perhaps of some value to review the apis and the permission system, both over different versions od android (if it varies from version to version) and per applications at risk of leaking, possibly starting from ones known to leak this and such or similar data.

@PawelK @mangeurdenuage The best plugin for disabling a camera is adding a physical kill switch. In my former laptops I removed the web cam and speakers.

The Discord issue was even after not allowing it permission. I listen to music in the background and it would cause my audio to malfunction. These were both using a different web browser. Yeah discord is trash and I recommended the University replace it with something more appropriate.

Getting yelled at for suggesting encryption was really frustrating and then I got to meet feds. Dealing with Feds is better than a University.

Regarding the privacy, you wouldnt want to exposé even your battery charge levels on your devices to Über and alikes.

@PawelK @mangeurdenuage The charge level was used for something on the earlier phones and even Lenovo has a boot method where the battery needs to be removed or drained. Really cool stuff to know when the Lenovo firmware is nothing but backdoors.
