Even assuming this is actually true, then WTF Apple? How shitty are your laptops that they can be damaged by a piece of tape?
A piece of tape is probably fine. In their support doc they say it’s safe to use a cover less than 0.1mm thick. I feel like they’re more worried about something like this:

I feel like a gorilla glass screen and an aluminum chassis should be able to handle that though

Thanks. I just have what everyone else has. Black electrical tape. But the glue gets on the lens so i have to clean it frequently. And it’s thick tape so not perfect.

Really…
If said by corporations or influential people, there are people who believe.
Once someone said that Steve Jobs could sell something worthless and a premium on it.
Could he sell sand to the Arabs?
Could he sell snow to the Eskimos?
Could he sell a new phone to someone who already has a phone?

Well, he managed to develop a replacement for Sony’s Stowaway/WALKMAN.
Probable Steve Jobs would have done better and really help privacy instead of using it for marketing like Apple nowadays.
Just a thought. If I am wrong, please reply.
I’m gonna guess this is because someone put a thick cover on their camera then put their laptop into a tight case or otherwise squeezed it, bending the bezel and cracking the display.
Stay away from Apple.
As much as I dislike apple, the article warns about not closing the macbook, with the camera covered. It’sqq still bullshit, but not much about privacy imo.
