    Not so long ago, that would have been a perfectly legitimate reason to dismantle this corporation. Nowadays, I don’t think even a larger fine will be imposed.

    There is really no longer any need for dystopian visions of the future, because they are already here - mainly because the average internet user somehow has no problem with being monitored 24/7 by techno-fascists. It’s just sad.

    Please levy the largest fine imaginable for this spyware without consent. Because I know my country won’t fucking do it.
