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...

nonsense.

On a serious note: a _software_ camera activity indicator? Seriously?

the only way to access the camera or microphone on the iphone is via
the appropriate framework, therefore a software activity indicator will
work.

that same framework also requests permission and will only allow access
it permission is granted.

Sigh... iPhone users...

sigh. apple haters, who are completely ignorant about how things
actually work.

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.
