This method is good for standard methods, but do you know what is a good way to block calls at the system level? When calls reach the v8 engine or uv, it should be able to implement a gating mechanism where the user can be asked consent.
This model is similar to android apps where we are told the permissions that the app requires in advance, and any additional access is denied till the user explicitly approves it.
