No, see, you include a disk but all that disk has on it is the installer for the launcher with a “download gta6” command thrown on the end.
This is nowhere near the first “doesn’t contain a disk” game and choosing gta as the one to throw a fit over feels performative. This has been a thing for over a decade.
Doubt. The law likely talks about making unauthorized recordings. There is likely nothing in the law that would disallow automatic transcription if no recording is created.
Unless the law is extremely vague such as “it is unlawful for a microphone to pick up conversations” the law likely doesn’t cover this situation.
I am more than happy (and eager) to be proven wrong, but in my experience the law tends to lag behind tech by quite a bit.
Not that hard to understand. They have an extremely large dataset to analyze for “subjects adjacent to these searches” and it returns “kayaking” among other things. Then just show ads for those related things. You ignore the things you’re not considering as background noise, and notice the ones related to your new hobby.
<.< Let me just throw two scenarios at you real quick to show you why that’s a problem:
That third party can easily just use your connection to view and download CSAM and all external monitoring would suggest that activity was coming from within your network. Because it is.
That third party has full network access to anything your PC does (or at least that nic) which includes anything in your local network. Insecure IoT, other PCs, etc.
Eeeeh I have mixed feelings. I was the parent that had the ability to tack and log my kids, because I was/am heavily into tech. But the only time it was ever really used was “where the hell is [child] he never came home from school” or “what time did I leave [place]?” Or similar.
Thank you, I appreciate this!
