Cameras can have something called lens caps. Phone camera lenses are small but as Red Green would always say.....duct tape.

Couple coats of Black nail polish over the selfy cam fixes it.

My smart phone will take pictures of the inside of my purse for days as the battery slowly drains.

My phone has a nice view of the inside of a desk drawer at least 99% of the time.

Why not, the iPhone 13 stays on even if its turned off so the find my phone works. Today, off does not mean off. I can only imagine the privacy violations that occur on a daily basis by big tech.

My kids have sparkly space stickers that I use to cover camera holes on electronics. I have Saturn on my computer. lol

For many years, have been many apps can remotely turn on your camera without your express permission or knowledge, some if the phone is even off.
To: ProtectOurFreedom
I have duct tape on this phone. Works fine.
To: Trillian
"...I have Saturn on my computer..." You must have made that post from your phone,
or other device, then.
Because parking your Saturn on your computer must
surely have crushed it - rendering it inoperable... /s

I’ve owned one smartphone...an Apple iPhone SE. This one will have to last until I die, because I’ll never own another one.

But remember - inner party members are allowed to turn off their telescreens. For the rest of us, Big (Tech) Brother will be watching for thoughtcrimes.

Tape over the camera can be dealt with by putting the camera behind the screen. Technology already exists.
Problem is, most of the folks here don’t think like totalitarians. So you end up a step behind.

Nothing a strip of black tape won’t solve.
