Just where the hell does youtube and google get the balls to think |

| Re: Where does Youtube get off accessing camera and recording audio on my tablet? | macahi | 12/05/04 11:10 | Ok, I just re-read that screen-shot, and I now realize that it's just say that they app can now be used to record whereas before apparently you needed to use a different video recorder or camera software, then upload it to youtube. Now, this app can |

It says whatever the camera SEES, and that lens could be seeing all the time for all I know. It sounds non-threatening to you but not to me. So please explain to me where it says it doesn't record without permissi |
| Re: Where does Youtube get off accessing camera and recording audio on my tablet? | nickthisname | 12/05/05 22:29 | The same piece of black-tape is on the lens from the first boot-up on my laptop as well. No thanks, I'll decide when a camera will be in my face thank you. |
| Re: Where does Youtube get off accessing camera and recording audio on my tablet? | nickthisname | 12/05/05 22:37 | Did you look at all three images? I should have just put the third one up; they are Youtube Android Application updates. In other words Google owns them and they update their software as they see fit. It's not some third party; it's Google for God's |

| Re: Where does Youtube get off accessing camera and recording audio on my tablet? | macahi | 12/05/06 15:10 | I did a little digging on this because as evil as I do believe Google has become in the last few years, I just don't believe that even they would do something like what you suspect they're doing. The potential privacy lawsuits, not to mention spying |

| Re: Where does Youtube get off accessing camera and recording audio on my tablet? | 3x700 | 12/05/06 20:48 | I agree the black tape is a bullet-proof method, but personally, on my HP Pavillion laptop, any time the camera goes active, the blue pilot light beside it lights up, so that is enough assurance for me to monitor it's activity. Tablets probably don't |

| Re: Where does Youtube get off accessing camera and recording audio on my tablet? | anmoose | 12/05/07 9:33 | @nickthisname, your question has been answered. Put a damned piece of tape over it. And while you're at it, put a bigger piece of tape over your smart-ass keyboard. The only one turning this thread into a "sandbox bitch-fest" is yourself. |
