Browser activating the front-facing camera: Big Brother or just a bug?

This post is about a disturbing (in terms of privacy) situation that we have recently encountered.

Here’s what happened: we were approached by one of our readers, who claimed that when he was reading our website (which, ironically, has the BanCam anti-facial recognition campaign banner on a main page), the front-facing camera was activated.

I’m now in charge of Audacity. Seriously.

Audacity is the world’s most widely used audio editing & recording software. It is free and open source and maintained by an amazing community. In this video, I’m announcing my own involvement in the project, which I’m very excited about. For those worried about MuseScore (an open source notation & music app that I also lead): don’t be. I’m not going anywhere!
