The head of the FBI says you should. That's all the reason I need.

I'm 100% convinced that they can look at any camera connected to the internet. Our phones also aren't secure.

Thin about how all smartphones can react to you saying "hey siri" or "ok google" at any time. The microphone is literally on at all times and analyzing what it is picking up to look for speech patterns.

If it can detect those code phrases at any time what other shit is it also programmed to listen for and flag?

>>725184953
smart person

>>725183607
Yep. I use a hole punch on the sticky part of a Post-It note and stick that dot over the lens.

>>725186100
nice.

>>725186100
Why did you feel the need to tell us that?

Since I saw this black mirror episode,I do...

i just disable the cam

>>725183607
So the illuminati cant use it to spy on me.

>>725187855
I also do this, but i feel less smart about it now

I don't cover it and do a helicopter spin with my dick every 15 minutes just in case someone is watching I want them to see this artistic act

>>725183607 (OP)
i always have my camera usb unplugged

>>725184953
Kek. Could've just bought a monitor without a Mic and Camera

>>725188164

doesn't matter, the hardware it still physically connected and can be turned on again remotely.

when i fap, i wiil close camera by my hand

>>725184067
DO you also cover your phone's camera then?

>>725190151
I know some that do that

>>725183607
Only when I fap.
Same with phone.
At a certain point it just became a meaningless habit.

ITT: Real life autists who believe covering your camera makes you any safer

>but hurrr durrr its connected to the FBI

Kill yourselves

>>725184483
Well considering most people just jerk off and sit around their house. I don't see the problem. Besides, everything these people wanna know they already have. It's impossible to escape unless you live off the grid.

>>725190689
taking out your camera and mic makes you safer. Covering it gives you atleast to feeling of being saver. nothing autistic with that

Physical removal of camera and mic is the only safe option.

>>725191255

Or use a monitor with out that built in?

Even better, I have no cameras or microphones in the first place.

>>725191444
laptop...

>>725183607

you are on 4chan are you retarded?

obviously I cover mine. There are places (like limited access forums) who watch hijacked webcams all day.

Even Mark Zuckerberg, the pure symbol of anonymity, covers his laptop

>>725192799
whats the bottom one for?

>Mark Zuckerberg, the pure symbol of anonymity

durr, the billionaire facebook founder is a 'symbol of anonymity'? Is this your first fucking day on the internet? Are you actually comparing your computer security needs to mark fucking zuckerburg?

Your parents dropped you.

>>725193118
Would covering it really 'disable' it 100%?

It is still going to vibrate

Anyway, the only sound it would be able to hear is typing

>>725192799
then again, he is a person of interest. I bet my ass there are a thousands of people that want to hijack his shit unlike yours.

>>725184668
completely unrelated to topic but...
those shoes look fucking retarded
i hate women who think that is some kind of sexy look

>>725183607
Nah, if someone wants to watch me do nothing, fap, pick my nose, sleep, or whatevs that's fine with me.

>>725193536
looks like it would cut of circulation

>>725187067
im not that guy, but im pretty sure they told us that because it is literally what the entire thread is asking about. they even responded directly to OPs post...
how fucking dumb are you?

>>725193536
Yup. The way they are too tight and bubble up the skin is horrible

What to do about phones though. Should be more worried about that than pc

>>725184668
Elizabeth Zak,
fucken babe

Yeah because I'm paranoid as fuck sometimes

>>725193272
not sure if trolling or your end time autism disables your ability to detect irony. But even if it wasn't for your lack of common sense, it wouldn't even be so wrong
>"Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly paid more than $100 million for a swathe of land in Hawaii where he will create a private getaway befitting one of the world's richest men. "

tl;dr be an idiot somewhere else

>>725190151
I dont, I have an iPhone.

thank you for agreeing with me. i was waiting for the inevitable calling me a faggot for posting about her shoes.
she looks like a ham you bring home from the supermarket. and i bet she thinks she looks really sexy too

>>725194377
But the sad thing is she won't ever realise how disgusting they are, since no one will ever tell her

>>725183607
Server.exe is waiting

>>725194327
well your still a faggot. so maybe that'll even things back out

faggot

>>725194511
amen brother.
this is why i love /b/ sometimes
sure i get called a faggot or a nigger or a niggerfaggot sometimes.
but other times people agree with me when i randomly bring up how stupid someones shoes look.

>>725183607
Yes. I don't trust the CIA/NSA.

>>725183607
