The issue is what they are going to do next without telling you. The issue is installation of Spyware Engine, not it's current usage.

- jodrellblank 5y agoWhat, other than paranoia, makes you think they are going to do anything next without telling you? They told us about this, we're all talking about it. The issue is your calling it "Spyware Engine" as if it's anything that wasn't happening before - mesh networking for "Find my phone", watching bluetooth and wifi and GPS locations and reporting back to HQ for things like mapping and traffic monitoring and route planning, and possibly advertising, these are much more "spyware" than this is - they happen more routinely, to more people, and report more back. UK ISPs have been legally obliged to block certain websites from access for years, Google knows where you live from nearby WiFi SSIDs and can correlate all your browsing traffic back almost entirely to your real identity all the time, GMail and Office365 and FaceBook and Microsoft know everyone you contact and what you talk about and therefore what kind of relation you are to each other, all the big providers know where you live and where you work and whose house you spend time in from location tracking and correlating cookies with IPs. This thing from Apple is way more narrowly constrained and scoped than any of that.
