Worst case scenario for this "fear mongering": People put sticky tape over / unplug their cameras.

Or are you against all instances of causing people to be afraid of something on principle?

Fear mongering has the connotation of making people irrationally afraid for your own benefit, which, yes, I am against in all instances on principle.

If that's the definition you're working off of, so be it. I mostly agree with you. I wasn't qualifying the fear as being "irrational".
