Do you cover up the camera on your mobile devices

Media is covering why people disable cameras by covering up the camera with tape on their laptops and mobile devices. Is this paranoia? Does the NSA or hackers really get into your phone or PC just to take pictures of you in the nuddy? Pipedot, I ask you: Do you cover up the camera on your devices, and if so, why?

Not because I think that someone is going to take a video of me for blackmail. It's just creepy watching videos of people who have been hacked like this. It is bad enough now Microsoft has admitted that they take data off your PC. No need to entice hackers. Perhaps like car alarms, if everyone covered their cameras by default then there would be less incentive to do this.
