Windows SSL Interception Gone Wild
Just to be clear, Facebook and Google hate any software that allows users to modify content within their walled gardens (whether that's an adblock, ad injector, or other).  These companies want a totally controllable user experience in order to maximize their own user metrics and monetization.<p>My fear is that these companies will use this Superfish debacle to attack and restrict the ability for users to download legitimate software which leverages these technologies.  As users and developers, we want to retain this ability.<p>Adware sucks, and there are dozens of anti-virus companies who should be all over anyone who tries to pull this crap.  The problem here is not with MITM, SSL packet inspection or modification.  The problem here is that Lenovo allowed themselves to be turned into a distribution channel for a poorly implemented, spammy piece of adware for a few extra pennies.
