Of course it can.

Cameras and microphones and write enable must have physical switches, not software ones. When will people learn?

Never.

Me, I unplug the camera and mike when not in use.

Agreed. I find so much peace of mind in the microphone / webcam hardware switches of my Framework laptop.

Seeing the webcam actually vanish from the list of devices is very nice. :D
