It shouldn't surprise anyone that sonos does malicious shit with their software given that you can't set up these speakers without A) giving them an internet connection (local wifi is not sufficient) and B) creating a sonos account. There is zero legitimate reason that speakers need to phone home or be associated with your identity to function. Any device that has mandatory account registration should be looked upon with extreme suspicion.
