Why do normies always put tape over their webcam?

Nothing to hide, nothing to find.

let's not lie: the biggest reason you faggots fear being spied on thru the webcam is your degenerate physique. get fit, hit the gym, stop being ugly.

no, the only reason for me is masturbation.
the fact that I masturbate can be concluded from my browsing history but I'd still prefer there not being any footage of it.

these people are idiots, they cover their webcam because of superstition - meanwhile they have all sort of software that spies on them, have multiple social media accounts, a smart tv, a smart fridge, dozens of apps with permissions to collect their data, some alexa home shit that is always recording them, etc. they cover their webcam because it's the normie thing to do, they are just following a fashion without knowing the full spectrum that it's part of, It's like going to repair a car and only bringing a screwdriver.

the real question is why don't normies always put tape over their phone front camera

covering your webcam is a sign of defeat, accepting that your system may have been compromized like a submissive cuck rather than have the strenght to be a paranoid autist and never be open to such a possibility

>le nothing to hyde meem xDD

>go to uni
>white girls who have no clue how to use a computer have tape over their Facebook webcam

>0.01% that someone spies on you through your webcam
>0% chance that someone spies on you through your webcam
really a hard choice, especially if you have tits.
also
>white girls
fuck off, you racist

Do you look ugly while masturbating? Do you look like a Greek statue gracefully stroking your dick, or do you look like a sweaty blob furiously jacking it, turning japanese? If it's the former, you would have no problem about it. There's nothing wrong or embarrassing about having an aesthetic masturbation tape of yourself in the possession of alphabet agencies and russian hackers.

it's called hedging user
even a 0.001% risk of leaving on your webcam while you're walking around nude or something is too high for most people
only the autists here think it has anything to do with hacking or security

because they're smarter than you

nobody on Jow Forums does this. they couldn't get the mic/camera drivers to work even if they wanted to

So this notorious hacker known as fourhan won't take pictures of my o-face while I masturbate

because the older generation had more experience with government data fuckery and try to teach their kids mostly

>Puts tape over webcam on laptop
>"Don't want the NSA spying on me!"
>Walks around with a smartphone on them 24/7
>Always on with camera, mic, and gps enable

I guess people feel like spying can only happen on certain devices.

also there has been made huge propaganda news about perverts making nude pics of your children in the 2000's when internet became popular.

because manufacturers can't seem to create the illusion of privacy intelligently

I don't actually tape my cam when pleasuring myself cause it's usually pretty dark and you wouldn't be able to see anything through a shitty webcam.
Webcam is always pointed directly at you. Smartphone cameras rarely are, especially not when you do embarrassing shit.

Even the FBI and Zuckerberg do it

You are projecting a ton, maybe you should stop watching TV if the image of a generic consumer triggers you so much.
I just Sharpied a laptop webcam because I don't even use it.
Am I going to tape over and disable my mics on my phone? Quit using Google entirely? Change IP's daily? Probably not, but better to minimize my possible personal data output just because the NSA absolutely want to see my 4 inch willy.
kek

For me it's not the fact that some super 1337haxxor will catch my fatasss naked or whatever along the lines many of you are implying like the NSA watching my sad life.
It's the fact that I may make a mistake while using a program that may turn it on, and show myself when I didn't meant to.
For example, let's say I'm having a conference call at work, but I'm naked or not dressed up because well, I'm at working from home or on travel, and for some idiotic reason I click the wrong option or whatever and turn the cam on. If I have tape, nothing happens. If I don't I'll get HR write me a warning or possibly get fired.

So you only care if they catch you fapping to chinese cartoon kiddie porn

>projecting
They can already see if I do that from my internet traffic. Get your mind out of the gutter please.

>tfw tape over webcam
>ink over smartphone cam with location turned off
>tape over mics other than when using them
help me

ebin samefagging OP, please post more!

Read an interview with the former NSA director Alexander - the journalist jokingly dropped a question about whether one shoud cover up their laptop webcam; he responded quite sternly 'of course'.

I mean, there's really nothing lost if you cover it with a piece of tape, is there?

>he can't even think enough into the future to not appear naked in front of a camera in a business meetin, plus he isn't even sure about da cumputerz n the buttonz mite press da wrong one

I would never hire you user.

>implying you own a company
>implying you're not a neet

Because we know webcams on laptops are compromised to such a degree that someone can use them while having the activity LED disabled.

I do own one user, a very small one tho, only 9 employees but we're growing ;)

That's a decent size, user. Good luck.

So people knowing their limitations follow good advice? You must be in heaven!

nice try Noseberg

When I want to violently beat off my dick, I want to make sure people don't accidentally see me. It would be embarrassing.
>not autistcally checking all inputs, making sure they're off.
lol

Here is an example of normie logic for you:

> constantly have at least 2 cameras in your proximity, giving a 360° view of your surrounding
> at least one microphone
> at least one geopositioning device
> constantly uploading speech patterns
> facial patterns
> fingerprints

> But, tape up the camera on the laptop that's redirected at you for 2h a day.

>more worried about the microphones
That's why I turn the music up when I fap.

Smartphones are usually in your pocket (blocked view) or on a surface (view of the ceiling).
Besides they're deemed essential. A webcam is not deemed essential.

>keeps history
wew

is that a chopped off head ?

Why people so stupid retards?
You can completely dissasembly your webcam keep calm and masturbate

He just has massive shoulders

No, obviously I do, hence why I'd rather leave the cam covered, otherwise yeah, I'd place myself in a table and fully dressed.

want privacy but too normie to take actual steps

I meant the one your internet provider keeps.

i don't know but good for them.

ahem.

one laptop i keep on every day i opened the bezel around the screen and physically removed the camera and microphone, i dont use them so why leave them connected and able to be exploited

> implying cloth is imperiable to photons
> implying normies don't take out their phones to check on instagram giving the NSA a round view of where they are every few seconds

>go to uni
>stay the summer because nothing to do
>summer program comes in
>walk past classroom with glass wall
>everyone has webcam tape even the kid with downs syndrome
>tfw don't even have integrated webcam

What experience do that have?

Yeah I wear a tie for phone interviews

I fap behind my laptop and while I think there's no spyware on my laptop, I do run an outdated OS so I cannot be 100% certain, which means I rather just make it physically impossible to get video footage from the cam.
>inb4 hurr durr disconnect the camera
I occassionally want to use it. This is easier.

>the gym can fix ugly
it's height, face and frame idiot

Because they suck.
I uninstalled the webcam driver. Get on my level fuckos.

as someone who isnt tech savy / programmer in your words normie

I just dont trust computers/software to the degree I would allow the camera to be unobstructed 24/7

I didnt put it together, I dont know what the pc does in the background no need to have my info + video feed of my home a line has to exist

Better to be a 3/10 than a 2/10

>nobody has ever forgotten to turn their stream off and gotten caught masturbating on camera! You're all superstitious!
What's it like being a literal retard?

What's wrong with taping over your webcam?
You are literally shilling against people protecting themselves from being spied on.
>yo normalfag, stop installing AV
>don't ya know you're safer without it?
>now download this and visit this sketchy stuff

Fuck you

>Haha I removed the software level access to a device that has built in hardware access by the CIA/NSA/ABC/BBQ
>Surely I have won

You know very well, kike.

what type of retard logic

if i disable the webcam through BIOS on my x220 i'm safe, right???

>"Yeah, I'm a geek and way to smart to get spied on."
>boots up windows 10

I disable mine :3

I have a Macbook with a bright indicator light, although I remember a story a few years ago about the firmware being hacked to disable the light...

>Spy software can't possibly re-enable it

Tbh I just do it in the case I accidentally hit allow on a conference/webinar, don't want everyone to be able to see me.

Do you have an Intel processor by any chance? If you do, all you said doesn't matter you are still owned like a bitch

I don't even have one nor do I need one. Why use it? I don't need to see those I communicate with nor they me. That's what text is for.

Then tell us your real name.

Peace of mind. Or the complicated meme answers. Take your pick.

Silly John, we got around that issue years ago, now we have all those exclusive pictures of your cat while you aren't in the room.

disable it in the BIOS if you're going to go the software route.

>location turned off

Some ironic fear of being seen, despite posting every moment to public internet services anyway.

This is no joke. My mom does this shit and i think she is paranoid or something.

>he lets his ISP hold his info hostage

It's Luis, nerd. Is your name so unique that you can't just say it?

The classic
youtube.com/watch?v=G7NBmFrwKvU

>he pays a (((VPN))) company to hold his info hostage instead

No. Just "darksydephil" or DSP. He accidentally live streamed himself a little early than he intended. Accidentally live streaming his face while he was masturbating.

Mine has an LED too :3

Yes, this is probably the best solution.

Newer thinkpads have a plastic shutter so you can physically block the camera

The best solution is to literally open the case, find the wire to the webcam and cut it.

Uhm, no. Also are you retarded? The webcam has a connector. You can just disconnect that one from the motherboard. Why are MEN so stupid nowadays?

That depends on the computer. Some are soldered on. Cutting the wire will make it so it can never be used. I'm sorry you are retarded and fail to realize this, but I guess you can't expect a tranny to be smart.
