More like, Firemen handing out smoke detectors that not only beep whether or not there's smoke, but also occasionally light your house on fire.

- roflc0ptic 12y agoYes, this is the correct metaphor. It leaves users vulnerable to things the cops are supposed to be trying to protect users from. What's unclear is, do the cops get access to the keylogged information? Then the metaphor gets silly. It's like... firefighters giving you a smoke detector so they can spy on you in case you're setting fires, which also happens to sometimes cause fires independently.
- roflc0ptic 12y agoOh, actually, I hadn't read far enough. It doesn't look like it sends it back to the cops.
