For me it’s the paranoia surrounding webcams. People outright refuse to own one and I understand, until they go on and on about how they’re being spied. Here’s the secret - unplug the damn thing when you think you won’t use it or haven’t used it in a while.
They, whoever it is, can’t really spy on you on something that’s already off and unplugged!
I feel the same way about webcams. I’m paranoid about them too, but you know what’s an easy solution? Buy a desktop monitor without one and then buy a USB webcam.
If you’re on a laptop, then for the camera just tape a piece of paper over it. As for the internal mic, you might be fucked LOL cause I got nothing.
It’s a bit late to worry about internal mics when everyone has their phone on them at all times.
The need for a solution regarding one angle of a problem does not invalidate the need for a solution regarding another.
You can take care of privacy on your personal hardware, but with work issued devices, you can’t.
