That's just ridiculous. the Flash plugin doesn't send anything to any
website without me accepting it. How is sending images from my webcams
different from uploading photos? Sending emails? Writing blogs?

It's just transmitting data, and as long as I have control over what
data is transmitted I don't see any problem. By your logic we should
remove all protocols that support sending webcam images on the ground
that it might be used to invade your privacy.

How sending webcam images has anything to do with security is beyond
me, unless you expect me to point the camera at my keyboard while
typing my password.

Anyway, you are hardly being constructive. Do you seriously suggest
that the page describing how to use the Adobe flash plugin is better
if you omit how to make a certain feature of it work? Currently you
will simply get distorted images if you try to use the feature, and it
will reflect on Fedora as if Fedora doesn't support webcams properly.

Best,
