Yeah, although wrongly. The "may" there is a bit of a weasel word. Literally, it only indicates possibility, but lay-people read "may" as indicating probability

Yeah, although wrongly. The "may" there is a bit of a weasel word. Literally, it only indicates possibility, but lay-people read "may" as indicating probability. To a nerd, whether something is technically possible is interesting, but what ordinary folks want to know is whether Riot is likely to be acting against their interests (i.e. selling location or activity information to third parties, vs. simply conducting whatever monitoring they deem necessary to ensure cheats are not being deployed).
- ryukafalz 5y agoFair - replace "may" with "is able to," and my statement still stands.

You'd really need to put the message forward, far more so than is warranted by any probability of actual harm, to get 99% of users to feel anything about it one way or another.
