Yeah it feels weird to base the article around the privacy dots, but I suppose this may be an article for a more targeted audience.

this may be an article for a more targeted audience. Too bad we're not talking about red dots, but green or orange.

Oh, fuck your profile pic so fucking hard, you bastard.

For the more reasonable part of my comment: I think that basing the article around the privacy dots is either meant to scare-bait, or reduce complacency in iOS users who say that "I know my phone is safe because it tells me when it's recording me."
