[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 58943, post: 713993"] WAY over the top... Why do companies feel it is necessary or even acceptable to steal every shred of data from people using their products? It is NOT acceptable in any form. I can see data gathered during crashes, maybe. But to gather incessant, unending telemetry on every single thing? It's ridiculous and it has to stop. It really makes me want to just stop using all of it.. Can you imagine 20 years ago if you told people their TV and Phone had microphones? They'd riot in the streets and demand govt. action to curtail this. Now people WILLINGLY put listening devices in every room in their home, cameras everywhere, and accept ALL of their data going into giant unprotected buckets.. They barely think twice about it. It's become so ridiculous that I just want to disconnect all of it and walk away. Developers are to blame as well, putting in telemetry API in everything they make. Sending everything to giant databases in open buckets. Stealing every keystroke. Ridiculous, all of it! [/QUOTE]
