Yes, but you can't point them up skirts, or walk up to their bedroom window (you have to be at the public sidewalk/street).

Cell phones already have volume limiters, too: https://www.theverge.com/23729051/ios-android-samsung-phone-...

Not great counter-arguments.

What? iPhones will prevent you from doing that? How?

I wonder if you've missed GP's point... Your volume limiting link looks like a feature that the user can control. That means that Apple isn't preventing iPhone users from violating other people's right to quiet in quiet areas.

What are you even talking about? There's nothing about a camera that prevents someone from putting it in a tree.

And that link about the volume limit? Come on, dude. That's a volume limit which the user can configure to protect themselves from hearing damage. Not even close to what this discussion is about. It doesn't even apply to the speaker! Completely irrelevant.
