For me it’s the paranoia surrounding webcams. People outright refuse to own one and I understand, until they go on and on about how they’re being spied. Here’s the secret - unplug the damn thing when you think you won’t use it or haven’t used it in a while.

They, whoever it is, can’t really spy on you on something that’s already off and unplugged!

    I have a webcam that we use when we’re not home for longish periods. It’s unplugged when we’re here. Also, it is connected to my own server, not some corporate cloud crap.
