I get that they are using the version which asks for consent, but why even take the risk of associating yourself with such a shady piece of software? If you make money of ads, you'd think you wouldn't want to do things that might scare away your users.
- NKCSS 9y agoThe software (script) itself is not malicious, it's the way it's used in a lot of cases. It's similar to how torrents are usually used for piracy, but has some legitimate uses.
- abusoufiyan 9y agoYes, I know that. But public perception doesn't really see it this way. It's more like torrent == bad && malware == bad
