No thanks! ๐Ÿ‘ Is there any way we could make a standard where unknown servers trying to run apps from google locally on my devices could be auto blocked? I'd love a standard like that.

"Hey we removed Google photos since they turned on the camera without your consent. We did that remotely! While you were out "

That WiFi, I would like.

How can an app turn on the camera without your consent?

I mean, you have to explicitly give permission before apps can access the camera.
