Until they require face-ID. Then another percentage of people will not bother to block the camera.

For those calling the 1984 references over the top fear mongering, I'd just ask one question: Why does Microsoft even care about users having a camera? When you answer that, I'd probably respond with "Nope, not a strong enough reason to be a requirement for Windows, try again." Rinse and and repeat. It's happening in China, it's happening at Amazon...

> Until they require face-ID.

That's the next logical step, for "security", of course.

Face ID won't be a requirement. It's impossible
