I’m uncomfortable with my laptop camera pointing at me.

The point at which you’ve got enough access to control my camera, sure, I’ve kinda already lost. Things aren’t binary though; there’s value in harm mitigation, and there’s definitely value in things that make you feel better.

So I love these little stick-on webcam covers with a sliding screen (shameless Amazon referral link).

They’re thin, remarkably robust, and the bright colours mean it’s easy to see at a glance if they’re open or closed.

Yes I still carry around my phone (aka a tracking device with two cameras and a microphone), I still have a Facebook account, and I still live in the UK - all of which seem bad for my privacy. Life comes with tradeoffs, but for less than a tenner this feels like great ROI.
