I am once again having to explain to someone that the claims about "X is spyware" and "X is a backdoor" that are bandied around by hyperbolic 'privacy enthusiasts' do not in fact mean what they fear it means

Can the 'privacy community' please stop fucking doing this shit, thank you, I am tired of having to mop up your mess

@joepie91 thanks, that's a good point. Been doing that myself half-jokingly but nonetheless I probably should stop

@joepie91 Really? Most stuff people use today is actually spyware, but since it’s unavoidable due to something something duopoly we pretend it isn’t actually that bad. What was X in this case?
