A lot of software today have some kind of Surveillance and Tracking. Sometimes it's called Targeted Advertising or Telemetry, but regardless of the name or reason of the Surveillance, all of it is malicious.
This comment thread is for people to document various implementations of this malicious feature.
News came to me via Mastodon( a Free / Libre Social Media platform ) that apparently Australian government just banned Social Media to a certain demographic of people and the consensus is that it is apparently a good thing. Social Media tends to be very bad these days. Due to enshitification and mass surveillance of platforms such as Facebook and Ex-Twitter you can give a pretty solid argument why banning social media all together will make things better. But I fail to see nothing else but an expression of age-discrimination in this ban, when not all people are banned, but only children.
