Perhaps Mark doest not want FB staff to listen his conversations with HR :)

"Facebook says...it doesn’t record conversations, but that it does use the audio to identify what is happening. ... The claims come after Belgian police warned citizens not to use Facebook's Reactions tool." http://www.computerworld.com/article/3079412/security/facebo...

Covering the webcam to stop the sound sounds like something someone who code in php would do!

Or perhaps he is worried about his privacy...

Mark used to say, I do not believe in Privacy, things changed recently...

I've successfully made my MacBook listening-proof without any effort. Some gunk gradually got into the microphone holes and now I can't Skype.

You may have the genesis of a startup idea there.

SaaS: Silence as a Service

A pin should be able to clear that out.

Yeah, I just keep forgetting to get one that's thin enough...
