Tape over laptop webcam?

Anyone put tape over their laptop webcam? My wife does

Is the threat of cyber stalkers or government snooping real?

Yep, did it to my smartphone too.

Google the episode of vice( I know..) Where the head guy interviews snowden, he walks him through all kinds of ways to grab pics/audio off phones and computers.

Lots of folks do it.

If criminal hackers can do it, you bet the government sure can.

And Alexa, Siri, etc are listening to everything waiting to hear their keyword. What happens to all that non-keyword digitized audio?

And what about all those interior security cams that store their video in the 'cloud'? Ever walk around your house in your skivvies or less?

Isnt it easy to establish that if the non keyword audio were being sent anywhere, the data amounts would be easy to spot?

If someone got access to your computer such that the Webcam could be activated, a picture of your mug is the least of your worries.

Yes and for those who might look.

'My Eyes, My Eyes' will be their response.

I tape the web camera on my company provided laptop. I don't trust the IT department (incompetent, overbearing, and outsourced)
