Nothing is preventing you from putting a sticker over your webcam, just like Zuck does.
Result will be the same
Stickers do not work - because people around you do not put it too magically
And what even sillier - that someone have phone with installed fb app in 2k19
Such bullshit. They definitely initialize the camera in the background. That is how you are able to simply swipe to your camera view and it is immediately active. Otherwise you would get a slight delay while the camera is initialised. What they are calling a bug is that the user actually saw it it rendered to a view... Have no doubt - this happens on ALL apps that dont have an apparent delay on switching to a camera…
Looking at the videos, it looks like the camera opens when the main view is swiped to the right. And you can see a ~300ms delay between when he swipes down and when the camera starts. This makes sense, because the way you open the story feature on FB is to swipe right. It's a good UX feature to start booting the camera as soon as you initiate the gesture, rather than when you've fully navigated so the camera is ready…
My immediate hunch is rather that they love tracking emotional responses such as widening eyes as people interact with content. Because knowing the true emotional responses instead of just hitting "like" on a post would be extremely valuable data.

I have heard that facebook's app delivery pipeline is automated (so that they could release in a day if they wish) but also that they dogfood their apps with employees. So not sure how such an obvious bug us released. Either their employees don't use the app or their 100% automation is pathetically bad.

WTF does a VP of integrity do? Have lunches with the VP of honesty?
They mostly just avoid talking to the VP of Truth.
It's facts that they all avoid or diligently rework to fit their version of the truth.

They do though.

Also nice reminder about that lovely photo of Zuck with a sticker covering up his webcam. Now why would he do something like that ... ?
I do it. My wife does it. My sister does it. The cameras at Bloomberg all had shutters, and I used it there as well. It's just good (paranoid?) OPSEC to defend against remote takeover exploits.

Not sure who downvoted you. But I agree 100% with this, he is a high value target.
