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!

Yeah, I saw that after seeing the other comments. I just didn't refresh the page to see your comment until after I typed up my edit. Lol, sorry.
