I've been watching a lot of videos on Snowden, Glenn Greenwald, the CIA, al Qaeda, etc. and I keep looking up and seeing that little black webcam gazing at me ominously. Then I realize they could be watching me, and I would never even know it. They could have been watching me for years. They could already know everything about me.

I'm not sure I even want to know what they are capable of.

Disabling webcams is trivial.
If it's USB, disconnect it.
If it's built-in, disable the driver.

I used to worry about this too, then I realized I'm so fucking trivial that if they were watching me, they'd be wasting so many resources that they'd be way too embarrassed to ever admit they were spying on me.

You should be more worried about the avg neckbeard hacker than the CIA.

CIA is actually forbidden to snoop on US nationals, anyway. That's the FBI's job.

That doesn't mean they follow the rules

But yeah unless you're a terrorist or related to cartels or some sort of organized crime they don't care.

The CIA regularly spies on US nationals, including members of Congress.

They're not supposed to, but being spooks they pretty much have to.

If it makes you feel any better you're so small and insignificant in the world there probably isn't anyone who cares about you enough or thinks you're important enough to be watching you.

I'm intentionally saying it that way, but also it's true >_>

There's seven and a half billion people on this tiny little planet, orbiting a small star, in a minor galaxy, in a trivial corner of the universe. Insignificance is a given.

Even if there's not a specific person sitting around watching me like it's a Twitch stream (this I doubt because I am too insignificant, I agree), they could be recording us all en masse. And if in the future they decide they do have a reason to look into us, they could go back for years and look at all of our shit.

I guess phones stopped caring after the Lewinsky thing too.

Joe Rogan's bit on the guy who broke into the white house is what helped me get over any paranoia about being watched that I had.

https://youtu.be/EFxy-hKS0nw?t=119

Basically, the guy was pulled over and they found a map of DC with the white house circled, and that guy got to go free until he actually did it.

Yes, but they circumvent it by having the UK hand over the information they've gathered by spying on us.

It's cute you think these organizations care about what they are allowed to do.

But why would they care about that? You're not in a position to be leaking any information.
