1. How you look in your underwear is nobody’s business, unless you make it their business.
2. Your metadata, as exposed in part by Ed Snowden, can flag you. Your image is a valuable addition to that data collection.
3. People, corporations and government agencies really do access your computer camera and turn it on to look at you.
4. Date-stamped face images have a cash value. I admit, this is a logical assumption of mine, but as interest–backed by money and power–grows, up-to-date databases of facial images will be as valuable as databases of addresses and phone numbers.
5. If you choose to explore your rights to free assembly in activities such as Tea Party meetings, Occupy Wall Street, or protests against war, your presence may be documented by law enforcement agencies that have captured your image via your laptop camera, and matched to your face as you stand in a crowd.
6. You have the right to remain anonymous as you explore your world.
7. Face-imaging software is created by as large and reputable corporations as Cisco Systems, for use by governments such asThe People’s Republic of China, and The United States of America, #NSAspying.
8. There is a reason you close your bedroom door to explore your sexuality.
9. Even if you somehow consent to some twisted digital contract because you clicked the “agree” box to a convoluted legal hodgepodge of words you don’t have time to read, and might not understand if you did, nobody really agrees to be spied upon.
10. Unchecked voyeurism is a disease. You don’t know what kind of sick individual is looking at you.
Take away: The easiest method to cover your camera is with a piece of masking tape. It is cheap, can be found easily, and will not leave adhesive on your computer.
