Should you stop saying your password out loud as you key it in?
Should you send your toddler to the Catholic Church daycare?

Unless those Macbook cameras have a physical Killswitch that allows them to stay completely off when you don’t want it’s probably still a good idea. I mean the indicator can tell you when it’s recording. It’s not going to prevent it.

On Macbooks the led next to the camera is wired to the camera’s power. It’s physically not possible to record without the led lighting up.
