Why are you concerned if someone else does/doesn't do something? You can only control your own actions. Not protecting yourself by covering your webcam because the majority of others do not is not sound logic. I have a bright pink piece of tape over mine, and it is always a conversation starter. I have seen later that many people do wind up covering their webcam. It's not a 100% conversion rate, but it is definitely > 0%.

Why someone want defend corporations? Especially those which breaking law

What motivations of such people?

Who here is defending "corporations" (by which I assume you mean corporate bad behavior)? Do you think Facebook and their ilk are the only actors who might want to hijack the cameras on your devices?

There is no good corporate behavior

>Who here is defending "corporations"

dylan604 try to change focus of attention.

This is type of manipulation. And in this context, this is defence

>Do you think Facebook and their ilk are the only actors who might want to hijack the cameras on your devices?

Nope. But for some reason fb can't do QA. At all

And this do most of the work for other "actors"

Why this happens?

wait, what? i am not defending evil corp at all. IMO, my comment about covering the camera on your device is purely self-defense because evil corp can't be trusted. how you can twist my self-defense suggestion as defending evil corp's decision to nefariously use the webcam is some serious bending of logic
