I agree with all your wise and logical points.

I just know that we are in fairly unchartered territory. Who really knows what the TOP NSA hierarchy might be ordering in the current upheaval context . . . including the often Q team mentioned disinformation necessary etc.

imho, there's plenty of smoke and mirrors and rabbit holes on all sides of this current situation to keep all of us guessing more than a little bit.

Don't know of any development that would enable someone to capture an image of a user through the screen itself instead of the camera. Should be okay if it's taped over etc.

Just to keep everyone properly paranoid though here's a great link to buy your own spyware...

Works for a lot of things like email, IMs, phone calls, video too. There are also options to turn on the camera remotely...
