Chrome and Android are the world's two most widely-used spyware/data mining operations today. While seeming unsuspicious. Reply

That's a poor analogy, one is opt-in with terms and conditions while the other is neither. Reply

When Google introduces the world to a plainly stated, 20-word-or-less terms and conditions then let's see. Right now these Terms and Conditions contracts with the check box at the bottom are usually a billion words long, so who of the users actually know that at paragraph 126 thousand there's a clause there that says you legally allow them to do spyware? Let's see Google do a five word Terms and Condition agreement: "We will spy on you." (Click here if you agree) Yeah. No. Ain't happenin. They bury it deep and hide it behind flowery language. Oh its telemetry, oh its for your own good, oh its for a personal experience. See! We spy on you to help you! I think George Orwell wrote something like that. Reply
USAFRet How about we make an attempt at keeping this on topic. What happens in the Google TOC is totally irrelevant here. Reply
Shiznizzle Unless gaben automates the inspection of games submitted, they are going to have problems, since their workforce is very small indeed. Prolly no more than 200 people in charge of a company that takes in billions, is the number one digital distribution platform for games and releases on the order of 20.000 games a year. Since 2020 their releases have doubled to 20k. How do you keep track of 20.000 games to make sure that they are not doing your users any harm? And to do all of the above post release as well? Just in the last few years alone stories keep cropping up about steam hosting malware itself as well as selling games that are loaded with malware or worse. This is just the latest in a string of bad news for steam. They are also being sued by the US government now for their loot boxes. Me thinks they dont have a leg to stand on as they are gambling and kids should not be doing that. Your view may differ Reply
