At this point, it's the best I can do. I have tape on the selfie camera too. I guess I could bust this pixel 7a open and add physical switches to the cameras and mike, but I'm not real confident in my ability to pull that off. Maybe you can tell me how to do that.
I guess a software based toggle is ok for downloaded third party apps on the phone. Just not anything by Google.
And no I am only saying what I trust. I sadly have no toggle. Making an actual hardware toggle outside of the factory line is pretty hard. But disabling them on your device is pretty easy. You can easily make your USB port power only, unplug your camera and destroy the mic.
If you use Graphene on the Pixel however, I think you'd be safe from anything Google to be honest.
