[liberationtech] Amazing New Privacy Product for Webcams

[shelley at misanthropia.info]

Yes, and I have no idea why someone looking to make a quick buck off of uninformed peoples' fears would post that silly 'product' to *this* list!

My comment was just to say that I don't care if you think it's silly and futile to put tape over my (disabled) webcams.  They'd have nothing to watch if more of us did that.  

(Put a piece of tissue over the lens before you tape it, if you're worried about that sort of thing.  Remember to cover the forward-facing cam *before* you even turn on a new phone or tablet, particularly an Apple device.)

Sure, every list is probably infiltrated with spooks.  That won't stop us, either.  You don't think we just found out because Snowden told us, do you?

I have an EFF t-shirt, but I REALLY think this list has been hijacked,

understandably, by the the "NSA"- related topic. I look back and I see

the name of the list: LIBERATIONTECH! farking MORE, MUCH MORE THAN

NSA-RELATED TOPICS! DON'T YOU THINK SO?
