Well-known web sites that port-scan their visitors
At what point does all this surveillance capitalism tech become “unauthorized access?”<p>Port scanning with no user consent seems borderline malicious to me. Since the late 1990s I’ve seen language in ISP acceptable use policies banning port scanning hosts without consent. If this is widely considered malicious by industry norms for decades then how can this be considered ethical for a random website to do against a user’s machine?
