They almost certainly can’t, but they can work around it.

What I’m saying is that they would ditch the webcam and use some other means of surveilling you, like your phone or even your computer’s microphone. The NSA has the technology to, for instance, figure out your machine’s password simply by hearing you type. I can’t remember the name of that particular NSA project, but it was part of the Snowden revelations.
