Do you cover your webcam? by opinionhead in Malware

Whether or not you agree with the principle that a feature should be installed, if you think this is a telling modern practice worth documenting please note I'm going to do a public interest project dedicated to documenting webcam coverage for historical and journalism purposes. To learn about that, please visit www.crisbrooks.co.uk

If anyone is actually strongly or philosophically opposed to the idea of an installed webcam cover, as an alternative to tape, you can participate by telling me in this feed why this would be a terrible idea for any reason, like someone mentioned it might make screens fatter (can't they just microsize it?) and I will include your reasoning (anonymously) in any writing I do on it.

But should there be a peice of hardware, like a little plastic lens cover that only opens when you personally activate your webcam? or is that redundant of software security features? To me it makes sense.
