I Know I Sound Crazy But Please Cover Up Your Computer's Webcam
Just do it, okay?

I always thought people who covered their laptop cameras were delusional conspiracy theorists at best, or delusional narcissists at worst. Side-eyeing my friends and coworkers who'd shrewdly covered their webcams with stickers and bits of tape, I prided myself on having never quite reached the level of self-involvement where I thought some Russian hacker actually wanted to infiltrate my damn MacBook and watch me sadly scroll through fucking Into The Gloss for hours on end, while lying in bed in that weird upright horizontal position that inevitably ends in you accidentally dropping the entire computer on your own face.
But I am here to announce that, upon further research, I have changed my mind. I admit that, on this singular topic, I was wrong. Literally everybody should be covering their webcam while they browse. Ideally, we should be throwing all of our devices into the ocean. But at the very least, we should educate ourselves on webcam hacking.
Because it is real! It is happening. Say it with me: 1984.
IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU

This is not a message for police, or any other obliged not to use a camera cover.
Just do it, okay?

It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
