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.
