The most popular Western OS (and probably the other commercial OSs too) sends every key typed back to base. Plus every website visited. Plus every document amended.
Not that it would surprise me in any way, but do you have a source for this claim?
What, you don't take whataboutist claims trying to deflect attention from CCP spyware at face value?
Nope (and neither do I abide the flip side of this, whattaboutist claims to deflect from US or European bullshit).
It's actually all my fault, everyone.
You know, network sniffers exist. You can verify if this is true yourself if you know how to use one. Kill all other network services and just start typing and see if it starts spewing packets.
The internet is not some black box where us regular users can't see what's going on.
Any sources for this? I know Windows and probably MacOS send analytics but every keystroke and every document amended seems unlikely to me, maybe I'm wrong though.
Analytics is a broad concept, but every document is indeed a bit much.
The timeline feature on Windows that shows your info across devices when your account is signed in, contains websites, apps and services. They say you can see it for 30 days, but I doubt they delete it after, even if they say they do. They probably at minimum process the meta-data.
I don't see why c/technology scream about privacy violations every other post, and then suddenly turn forgetful when geopolitics comes into play. I used to watch 'exposés about China' and anti-sjw stuff on youtube back in 2015 too - and then just as I stopped watching them, they became an 'official geopolitical enemy'. The last decade has been a ride.
Their source is their whataboutist rectum
If you have a geopolitics bias, state it and then state your objection. Because atm you're denying reality. And downvoteifgay.
