@waleskinder As long as you have nothing to hide, it'll be ok if I just peep a bit?

I opened my laptop up and unplugged my webcam from the motherboard. I also took the cameras out of my tablet. It's a good security practice.

I have mine connected through a USB A/B switch. When it's not in use, I just disconnect it. But, Big Brother is watching, anyway. No, you're not paranoid. Paranoia is an unreasonable fear. Your fear you're being watched, is NOT unreasonable.

@Elfintrog Yeah, but those hand signals are really more for you than for them. They really don't care. I think putting a piece of tape over the lens, is a great idea. Stuff like that give me a little more piece of mind. And I need all of that I can get.

Elfintrog · 46-50, F

I do tape mine, I've always been a bit paranoid.. or maybe more aware ;)That we are losing our privacy the more tech we go.

PhoenixPhail · M

@Elfintrog Yes, we absolutely are. And it doesn't even necessarily have to do with tech. We're losing privacy everywhere, and we have been for a long time. It's taken away a little bit at a time so we don't notice so much.

I don’t even have a pc because of how easy they are to hi jack.

I thought it looked dark 😛

@SW-User lol

Elfintrog · 46-50, F

@SW-User 😆 It has three layers!

SW-User

Those are fairly easy to hack and gain access to them 👀 smart to tape them up.

Ynotisay · M

That's not paranoid. That's wise.

YoungPoet345 · 26-30, F

No, I’ve seen that

This is why you buy Huawei products

But hey, they are now banned in America. Coincidence? I think not

Elfintrog · 46-50, F

@midnightsun 😆 You have to wonder don't you!

GoldenWorm · 51-55, M

@midnightsun US gov matters a lot more to me than the Chinese.

SW-User

I'd call it more awareness than paranoia

@SW-User Yes I'm constantly reminding them about their digital footprint.. I think it will affect jobs and other opportunities much more in the future

@Elfintrog that shit is why you should make all your facebook post friends only... for instance. So employers can't do research on you. don't make their research departments jobs easy.

PDXNative1986 · 36-40, MVIP

@Elfintrog all the asshole bosses who will discriminate against me for being left winger if they knew..no way they ain't knowing.

I don't so someone might be getting an eyeful. If you hear of NSA officers having cases of poor eyesight or blindness I may be to blame.

Elfintrog · 46-50, F

@SageWanderer 🤣

dirge

Yes. I use the little plastic slider so I can use the cam if needed and not mar the lens

xixgun · M

No, I have a sticker over the camera on my computer.

snofan · M

Nope. Mine has tape on it

@whynottalk Distance matters. Tape or sticky notes help.

Fungirlmmm · 51-55, F

No, I do that on all my electronics. I unplug the Alexa speaker when I'm not using it too.

SW-User

I have a band aid over the top of my camera, I do t trust tech companies with their ability to spy on us. What if I wanted to read the daily news on my MacBook while doing a shit and end up spied on? Fuck that lol.

That’s my bigger concern.@PhoenixPhail

@SW-User It's a legitimate one.

SW-User

Fucking oath bro 👍@PhoenixPhail

SW-User

oh, shit... i keep forgetting to do that. good thing it's closed most of the time.

PDXNative1986 · 36-40, MVIP

if you're a chica i'd actually rec because I've been hit by some assholes webcam spy before but it's real obvious because the light just comes on. only the state knows how to enable without the light coming on.

@Elfintrog did you see the black mirror episode? I did.... I on't think my camera is ever angled downward far enough for people to see if I'm getting off to something even if they hack my shit. problem is those guys were pedo creepers in black mirror so they had something worth hiding while it's not exactly a dark secret that I like to watch porn... .of legal age consenting adults.

Elfintrog · 46-50, F

@PDXNative1986 Nothing wrong with healthy porn! better then road rage! those girls and guys definitely need some healthy porn lol

PDXNative1986 · 36-40, MVIP

@Elfintrog the only time I was pedo I was also underaged myself so I Was looking at girls my own age...

i get older and my interest shifted.
