    privacy: Mention non-sandboxed apps can always use camera/microphone/GPS · 87d18919

    These toggles only apply to the portal system, so only restrict access
    for sandboxed apps. Non-sandboxed apps (installed into `/usr/bin`) can
    always access these resources on typical distributions.
    
    In future, perhaps integration with a MAC (like SELinux) could restrict
    access to the camera/microphone/GPS for non-sandboxed applications —
    but we invented sandboxing to avoid having to do that, so it seems
    unlikely that’s ever going to be implemented. If it is, this wording
    can change again.
