Justified paranoia in Zuckerberg's case, I would think. If anyone was going to get spied on in a variety of seemingly outlandish ways, it'd be him and other super rich/powerful folks like him.

Especially when his company directly has to comply with requests from NSLs to implement systems that plug into PRISM.

If you've ever spoken to a script kiddie with a full command and control trojan he's downloaded, you'll know that all they are interested in is the camera and it's the first thing they check.

Then you have the more skilled and actual hackers and viruses that might need to do something on the screen real quick while nobody is there. How do you check that? The camera.

I mean really it would be more newsworthy if it was discovered there wasn't tape on his camera.
