- emsy 9y agoGiving ad networks tracking information of your editor usage and possibly access to the code you're working (which they didn't do, but the original statement was 'close to being malware') on is beyond mere adware.
- codezero 9y agoAdware always had telemetry. But I get your point. Let's call it spyware then if we think companies might use our source as a consequence. I find it highly unlikely but admit it is possible.
- davidgerard 9y agoLiterally the only distinction is how many lawyers they're packing.
