After seeing Zuckerberg tape over his webcam, I started taping over it on everything. If a billionaire tech CEO like Zuckerberg doesn't trust his IT to lock down his machine, no one should.

The most worrying claim is that some bosses are surreptitiously watching staff via their webcams.

I would hope that this is illegal but maybe not. Company property and all.

Makes me feel less weird to hear that he does it too. I've always done it but it makes me feel like a paranoid weirdo just because no one else I know does it, even though I know I'm right.

But that's how it is with all this privacy stuff. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean you're not being watched.

When you log into most corporate laptops, you're greeted with a page of legalese which says the laptop is company property and subject to monitoring at all times. I doubt this widespread practice is illegal aka a lawsuit liability.

I bought black masking tape (for laptops) and black duct tape (needed on slippery touch screens) just for this purpose. It's much harder for someone to notice, so I don't have to explain myself.
