I remember a while back Apple filed a patent that allows concerts to disable iPhones cameras if a certain signal is emitted from the stage. Apple never implemented this, but my pessemistic ass always try to think of worse case scenarios, like being used by government. Do you think this could occur in the future?

No, it actually runs Linux proper.
No, the Fairphone does not run Linux. Unless you are talking about the Librem 5 or something.
