Paranoid much? Security-conscious Mark Zuckerberg covers his Macbook's camera and audio jack with pieces of tape
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg appears to be concerned about being spied on.

A photo that he shared to help celebrate Instagram's 500 million monthly active users shows the camera and audio jack on the billionaire's Macbook covered with pieces of tape.

In the photo posted on Tuesday, Zuckerberg is sporting a wide smile and his signature gray T-shirt and dark denim jeans.
He's holding a life-sized Instagram frame that reads: 'Thanks to everyone in our community for helping us reach this milestone!'

After posting the photo online, several Internet users spotted and pointed out the tape covering his camera and audio jack on his Macbook at his desk.

It's rumored that skilled hackers are able to take over the front facing cameras on laptops when they're not covered up.
It appears as though Zuckerberg, who is worth $35.7billion, is trying to prevent that from happening by placing a piece of tape over his camera, making the webcam useless.


Zuckerberg has been previously photographed at the same desk.

I've had a white piece or artist's tape over my company computer's camera since the first iMac flat panels were issued by the ad agency I worked for. Most who noticed it, laughed. That was 10 or 12 years ago.

About 5 years later, an IT guy at the same company who became a friend of mine, admitted that at least internally, the cameras were used to "look in on" certain employees, mainly clocking how often they were at their desks.

mics can record sounds even when you cover them with tape.
You have to cut the wire to stop them.

Yeah well the demons are watching you on the back end so none of the flesh "contraptions" you use will help you escape their surveillance. Though...peace of mind I suppose.

But...he's rich so he's either a fallen angel or loaded with demons so he's a very confused individual...I mean borg hive vessel.

I think they are trying to point out that Zuck wants his own privacy, but wants to actively know and sell YOUR information.
