This week, an Instagram user based in New Jersey filed a lawsuit against Facebook in federal court in San Francisco, accusing Instagram of intentionally and secretly using the camera to collect “lucrative and valuable data on its users that it would not otherwise have access to.” In July of this year, Instagram was found to turn on the iPhone’s “camera on” indicator even when users weren’t taking photos. MacBook laptops have long had a physical green indicator light that serves the same purpose. MacBooks have long had a green light next to the webcam that turns on with the camera, and now iPhones have a digital version of that same indicator. This change is part of a push by Apple to give users more confidence about their privacy through transparency.
