Translation:

- When the green dot is off, your iPhone is _spying_ on you through the
camera
- When the green dot is on, your iPhone is flat out blatantly
broadcasting you for the whole word to see

On a serious note: a _software_ camera activity indicator? Seriously?
Sigh... iPhone users...

Sigh. The ignorant who have no clue how deeply controlled access is on
the iPhone to the camera and mic.

As to hardware lights (on computers and web cams) they are known to be
easily defeated through malware (ie: camera is on but the light is off).
Oh, darn, that happens in ... software.
