An Apple patent for technology that could be used to remotely turn off an iPhone camera or switch the device into sleep mode has raised the question of whether any innovation can be introduced in the market without the risk of abuse. Civil libertarians argue that the technology still amounts to people being denied the full use of their property. The Electronic Frontier Foundation does not advocate a ban, but people should refuse to buy a smartphone that others can easily control. Instead, companies building the technology should educate consumers about proper use and corporate and personal responsibility.”]
