So sad. More and more we are seeing a world were the powers that be can do anything they want but if you do it it’s (rightfully) malware and illegal.

The vast majority of popular apps and OSes are spyware by any reasonable definition of the term.

I remember, back in the late 1990s, if I have the time right, when RealPlayer phoned home to check for updates, and there was enormous uproar over the privacy implications.

Things sure have changed since then.
