Wait, Mark Zuckerberg tapes up his webcam? - CNET

I deduce this from the picture that he posted to accompany his joy.

He appears to be sitting at his desk, holding a frame hurriedly provided by his PR people.

But, as the deeply observant Chris Olson pointed out on Twitter, his laptop appears to have its webcam taped over. His mic jack is covered over too.

Could it be that the man who encourages humanity to share, well, everything isn't so keen on its himself?

Facebook didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

As Gizmodo noticed, the desk does bear some resemblance to a Facebook Live tour of his desk that Zuckerberg gave last September.

Yes, Facebook Live. That's the company's latest wheeze to get you to be all-Facebook, all the time.

Taping up your webcam is an excellent precaution, should you worry that someone might hack into your laptop. FBI director James Comey recommends it.

When even high schools have been accused of spying on their students at home, simple archaic methods can create some security.
