Whenever any gathering occurs during a protest and you see a Policeman beating a man/woman then you will try to take a shot of that and share socially as a proof regarding the Brutality of Police but Apple’s New Technology will stop you to do this.

According to Various Media Websites Apple has patented a piece of technology which would allow government and police to block transmission of information, including video and photographs, whenever they like.

They would switch off Camera, WiFi and after that you can use your iPhone only as a stone to hit someone.

A Police Man beating a Boy

So how’z the plan of Apple, it might be something Frustrated but you can’t do anything, On June 2008 – Apple filed a patent (U.S. Patent No. 8,254,902) – titles “Apparatus and methods for enforcement of policies upon a wireless device” that defines the ability of U.S. Government to remotely disable certain functions of a device without user consent.

Apple stated that the sensitive locations are cinemas, theaters and concert grounds but they admits it  could also  be  used in  covert  police or  government operations that may need complete blackout conditions.

According to RT it could also be used to prevent whistleblowers like Edward Snowden from taking picturesand broadcasting them on the interent.

The policies would be activated by GPS, and wi-fi or mobile base-stations, which would ring-fence (“geofence”) around a building or a “sensitive area” to prevent phone cameras from taking pictures orrecording video.

It is claimed by the Startfor hacker Jeremy Hammond that the “FBI” used the convicted hacker Hector Monsegur, better knows as sabu to coordinate attacks against foreign governments.

Hammond wrote a statement in prison while awaiting trial, he wrote:

“It is widely known that Sabu was used to build cases against a number of hackers, including myself. What many do not know is that Sabu was also used by his handlers to facilitate the hacking of targets of the government’s choosing – including numerous websites belonging to foreign governments.”

“What the US could not accomplish legally, it used Sabu, and by extension, me and my co-defendants, to accomplish illegally. The questions that should be asked today go way beyond what an appropriate sentence for Sabu might be:

“Why was the US using us to infiltrate the private networks of foreign governments? What are they doing with the information we stole? And will anyone in our government ever be held accountable for these crimes?”

Hammond was behind an attack against intelligence consultancy Stratfor, releasing some 200 gigabytes of documents to Wikileaks.

The statement above by Hammond came just before US Law enforcement agency, FBI claimed “Victory” over the hacking group Anonymous and said “We have Dismantled Anonymous“ because most of its “largest players” have been arrested or detained by them.

“All of these guys [arrested] were major players in the Anonymous movement, and a lot of people looked to them just because of what they did,” Austin Berglas, assistant special agent in charge of the FBI’s cyberdivision in New York, told the Huffington Post.

And after the statement by FBI that they have cut anonymous in pieces or dismantled them, Anonymoushacked:

• FBI Internal server and dumped large amounts of data
• Details of All US Federal Reserve Bank Employees and leaked

After the hacks, FBI said:

“The movement is still there, and they’re still yacking on Twitter and posting things, but you don’t hear about these guys coming forward with those large breaches,” he said. “It’s just not happening, and that’s because of the dismantlement of the largest players.”

In the meantime, the sentencing of hacker Sabu has been delayed for the second time this year. Facing up to 124 years in prison, he is expected to receive a lighter sentence as a result of his cooperation with the FBI.

Maiffret also wrote an update over there:

I hope this has raised awareness of the importance of independent researchers,” he wrote. “I equally hope it has reminded other researchers that while working with technology companies can sometimes be frustrating, we can never forget the greater goal; to help theInternet community at large, just as that community has helped donate over ten thousand dollars to Khalil within a day.”

Khalil discovered a BUG in Facebook which allows anyone to post something on any one’s timeline even if he/she is not a friend, he also ping Facebook security team but they refused and said “This is not a Bug”, after this Frustation he applied the Bug on Zuckerberg’s timeline, he wrote over there:
