This is only useful against patterns and colors. It has little to no practical application.

of course I don't know, how well it is going to be implemented in the future
with what level of success, but i do know that there are plenty of privacy-paranoid people that, after these news, besides the camera taping will start disableing or otherwise block the mic on the computer.
