Or I can close my eyes and imagine that nothing happened

Result will be the same

Stickers do not work - because people around you do not put it too magically

And what even sillier - that someone have phone with installed fb app in 2k19

Why are you concerned if someone else does/doesn't do something? You can only control your own actions. Not protecting yourself by covering your webcam because the majority of others do not is not sound logic. I have a bright pink piece of tape over mine, and it is always a conversation starter. I have seen later that many people do wind up covering their webcam. It's not a 100% conversion rate, but it is definitely > 0%.

Who here is defending "corporations" (by which I assume you mean corporate bad behavior)? Do you think Facebook and their ilk are the only actors who might want to hijack the cameras on your devices?

There is no good corporate behavior

>Who here is defending "corporations"

dylan604 try to change focus of attention.

This is type of manipulation. And in this context, this is defence

>Do you think Facebook and their ilk are the only actors who might want to hijack the cameras on your devices?

Nope. But for some reason fb can't do QA. At all

And this do most of the work for other "actors"

Why this happens?

wait, what? i am not defending evil corp at all. IMO, my comment about covering the camera on your device is purely self-defense because evil corp can't be trusted. how you can twist my self-defense suggestion as defending evil corp's decision to nefariously use the webcam is some serious bending of logic

If I were Mark Zuckerberg, the sticker is the solution to my laptop camera, and buying up all of the adjacent houses is the solution to neighbors
