That is an interesting take. Can law regulate which apps remain in the background, how many executables they install, how much data they are allowed to leave behind? Is this really desirable? The law would have to differentiate servers from desktops, for starters.
- varispeed 6y agoWell, that's something to debate, but I am sure this is getting out of hand. Now every application has some sort of Application Manager that requires computer to be online in order to enable access to the app (some require to be online once a week etc.) and these managers send who knows what to their servers. I think for starters it should be illegal to require user to install such managers in order to have access to their app or at very least give an option for offline authorisation. There is no reason for such apps to exist other than to spy on users.
