>You can completely disable the camera and microphone on Portal with a single tap or with a sliding switch. A red light next to the lens indicates the camera and microphone are off.

I think a hardware breakdown video would go a long way. For example, an engineer showing that the kill switches actually work correctly.

Either way, I hope somebody vets this.

I love how they have redefined a red light to mean "not recording", instead of it's ubiquitous interpretation of "recording right now".

Not to mention that even assuming it works as described; it puts the onus on the user to explicitly turn it off and if they don't it may be recording.
