    Remember how few years ago there was a massive outcry when U2s album was downloaded to devices without permission?

        Do you mean that time they installed a rootkit on people’s PCs when they went to play (what was supposed to be) a music CD, or the time they retroactively and remotely sabotaged Linux on people’s Playstations?

        Just wondering which massive felony that should’ve landed the entire C-suite in prison you’re referring to, since there was more than one.

          Hey come on now, there’s no need to lie. We all know that when the C-suite does it it’s not a crime in America. It’s illegal to hold them accountable!

          /wrist :(

            The sad thing is that Sony is multinational, and they weren’t prosecuted in Japan or anywhere else, either.

      The big deal about that was that it was added to people’s libraries and couldn’t be removed.

      This isn’t pushed in your face, and you can easily uninstall Chrome.

        Idk about that, you can’t uninstall any of the ai bs they put on phones and computers, from microsoft to android. You can’t uninstall edge on a newer computer either, not without being an IT specialist or whatever.
