Again:<p>This is why computing is going off the rails, and computational literacy is critical.<p>The computer belongs to the User. It&#x27;s sole purpose is to compute, FOR THE USER. If your software is running on someone else&#x27;s machine. And you want data exfiltrated back to you, normatively speaking, you should ANNOUNCE your intention, EXPLAIN it, and ASK for permission, this includes honoring their decision if they say NO.<p>The industry has clearly been sliding down a slippery slope in which businesses have unilaterally decided that running THEIR software exempts them from having to respect the User.<p>This is madness. If a society operated on the types of practices that are considered &quot;appropriate&quot; in computing, we&#x27;d be liable to label them as savages.<p>Keep your interbusiness competition OFF MY MACHINE!<p>(Thank God for Linux From Scratch!)
