well websites ad-tech have been very able to track mouse movement/location, characters pressed (but not submitted) for 15 years at least; people are fine with this fact too (even if its 1 or 2 monopolies that phone home - and then share data lol)

android's have done similar for a very long time; customers have known about it, and turn a blind eye cuz its a new-shiney

Yes, but this "makes sense" considering that data is being sent to US companies that are basically integral part of the NSA by now.

So it makes sense from a US-gov perspective.

My point was that the Samsung spyware is sending data about (for example) US users to non-US companies and government (South Korea). I guess they're also integral part of the NSA by now. I have no other explanation :P
