      so far… if you are not ready to actually defend your rights, they can be taken away on a whim.

        How? I have tape over my camera.

        Also I installed the OS myself.

          I distrust the microphone more than I do the camera. They can gather a LOT more information using the microphone. When I got my computer, I opened it up and physically disconnected both the camera and microphone. Now, when I need to be on a video conference, I use a webcam to plug in to my USB. Otherwise, all that is off by physical impossibility.

            Disconnecting the microphone is valid, but why don’t you trust a piece of tape over the camera?

              Tape will work. But if you are opening up a laptop anyway, you might as well just do a physical disconnect and plan on relying on a webcam when needed.

                The less external things I have to lug around with my laptop, the better
