You also get told before you are mugged; telling you about it has absolutely no bearing on whether the action that follows is acceptable. Even if they tell you

Even if they tell you about it, it's still a bad idea. There's plenty of legalese that people don't read because life is too short. It would be better if this wasn't the default.
- ajoy39 10y agoOkay but in this case the mugger (spotlight suggestions) can also be told that no, actually, I don't want to be mugged, and it won't mug you.
- andreasvc 10y agoI know, no analogy is perfect. I am saying that getting mugged or having your keystrokes sent somewhere is inherently bad as default and should be opt-in, not opt-out.
