Mark Zuckerberg photo reveals that the CEO puts tape over his webcam

[BadDog101]

It's not paranoia to be security conscience theses days even if you think you have nothing anyone really wants.
Excuse me while I take a shot at this drone hovering at my window. We are all being watched and recorded.
Safe surfin'. (y)

I use the tape over the camera move as well. I just want to be safe from those hackers, I watch too much crime series I guess. lol

There are tons of news articles that talk about camera and microphone hackers (so it's not just crime series).
These issues started a while ago.

I take my privacy and safety very seriously. When I got this laptop, I saw it had a camera. Taped it over immediately. Used it with the OS it had pre-installed until the warranty expired. Backed up all my files, and did what I do on my other computers. I installed Linux.




I started using computers since the age of 3. Over the years, stopped trusting Windows with my work. It was slowing my workflow down with its registry issues. Crashed often. Often defragmentations were extremely annoying. It was extremely expensive to maintain. The often antivirus purchases that couldn't guarantee me full protection; it just wasn't worth it. The best antivirus I ever used was Kaspersky. However, it was still expensive for me. Started switching to Linux at 16. At 20 I completed my transition.

I'm familiar with Linux but not that familiar yet. I'm just really starting this liking with technology. I'd like to know more about it though and based on what you said, it seems better to go with Linux. Can you share with me more about the benefit of switching to a Linux? Hope to hear from you soon, mate!

Forgive me for my extremely late reply.
I have finally found the time to give you as much information as possible.

Here is an article on Linux:

I have also uploaded an image, which may help you choose the right distribution for your needs.

Remember to take this information with a grain of salt. It's not perfect, but it was the best I could find.
If you have any extra questions, don't hesitate to ask me.

So why couldn't mark just disable the webcam through device manager or his bios screen ?
No need for tape anything.

What does that have to do with Mark putting tape on his webcam?

Taping is faster.

It does have something to do with Mark taping his webcam.
This is the full conversation.

I was simply replying to Andrew Caldwell.
He wanted to know about Linux. I answered.
My work here is done.
