You might want to check if they’ve recalled it, I believe I saw an article today that said Google was recalling the pixel 6a because of this.

I have one for my pixel 7. I also put a small square of electrical tape over my front camera. I know I sound paranoid, but I just don’t like a camera staring at me while I’m looking at my phone. I also rarely take selfies so a front camera is pretty much pointless for me.
