Because they don't have the informed consent* of the owner of the device wich ends up running the code?
* no, small print in a click-through agreement doesn't count.
- inigyou 2mo agoIt's not illegal to run code on a device without informed consent to everything the code does. The CFAA may be excessively broad but it isn't that broad.
- TurdF3rguson 2mo agoI think they do actually. It's pretty clear from the consent screen that they're doing what they're doing.
- zeratax 2mo agoask any of the people who installed it if they understand what they're doing and especially what the consequences of that are. i doubt you could get a dozen people who do of the millions and millions who installed it.
