Lol its not new. I once saw on reddit that apple filed a patent that allows concerts to emit a signal to prevent recording because… reasons…

Then people in the comments were like “Police could misuse this”

I mean I could see why the US couldn’t do this. Constitution stuff and all, but just wonder why dictatorships don’t just do it, they have all the power to.
