Are you implying you can't read? I said "ads". I didn't talk about spying. Problem with "spying" is that nearly every company that can, is trying to. I'm not familiar with dassault systemes but wouldn't be surprised if they did too, to "improve their products". The degree of sophistication obviously varies. The top comment was incredibly reductive and it seems it's going to turn into a pointless flamewar soon enough.
