Yeah, you got a point there, I can't think of a good reason why turning on the webcam on a random site would be a privacy/security risk for a random visitor. I suppose I used the word "paranoid" to imply that it was not entirely logical/reasonable to think so. Thinking of it, I acquired this attitude of being overly careful since Facebook, face recognition, machine learning, pervasive privacy invasions became the norm on the web. Who knows, maybe there's a way to combine random webcam snippets with other tracking technology to gather even more data about me.
