"In another Orwellian measure, Pyongyang phones' government-created operating system takes screenshots of the device at random intervals, the two defectors say-a surveillance feature designed to instill a sense that the user is always being monitored. The images from those screenshots are then kept in an inaccessible portion of the phone's storage, where they can't be viewed or deleted."

Oh, hah, a friend of mine worked at a company that developed employee monitoring software that did exactly that, it also took pics of you using the webcam. They used it for their own employees, too.
