I see your point, but I care about exposure to Meta, not to my friends. That's the new element here.
I don't agree that corporate restrictions on cameras are useless, even if the information itself isn't particularly valuable. I work in semicon, if I put these on at work and information somehow gets sent to a non-US server, I would have broken International Traffic in Arms Regulations. In all likelihood the information won't reach or be useful to China, but the US government doesn't care and will fine us into oblivion regardless. Honestly, it's more a liability thing than actual security.
