+&lt;p&gt;For decades, the Free Software movement has been denouncing the
+abusive surveillance machine of
+&lt;a href="/proprietary/proprietary.html"&gt;proprietary software&lt;/a&gt;
+companies such as
+&lt;a href="/proprietary/malware-microsoft.html"&gt;Microsoft&lt;/a&gt;
+and
+&lt;a href="/proprietary/malware-apple.html"&gt;Apple&lt;/a&gt;.
+
+In the recent years, this tendency to watch people has spread across
+industries, not only in the software business, but also in the
+hardware.  Moreover, it also spread dramatically away from the
+keyboard, in the mobile computing industry, in the office, at home, in
+transportation systems, and in the classroom.&lt;/p&gt;

+  Windows 10 sends identifiable information to Microsoft&lt;/a&gt;, even if a 
user
+  turns off its Bing search and Cortana features, and activates the
+  privacy-protection settings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
+
+  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;
+  Microsoft uses Windows 10's &ldquo;privacy policy&rdquo; to overtly impose a
+  &ldquo;right&rdquo; to look at users' files at any time. Windows 10 full disk
+  encryption &lt;a 
href="https://edri.org/microsofts-new-small-print-how-your-personal-data-abused/"&gt;
+  gives Microsoft a key&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+  &lt;p&gt;Thus, Windows is overt malware in regard to surveillance,
+  as in other issues.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+  &lt;p&gt;We can suppose Microsoft look at users' files for the US government 
on
+  demand, though the &ldquo;privacy policy&rdquo; does not explicit say so. 
Will it
+  look at users' files for the Chinese government on demand?&lt;/p&gt;
+
+  &lt;p&gt;The unique &ldquo;advertising ID&rdquo; for each user enables other 
companies to
+  track the browsing of each specific user.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+  &lt;p&gt;It's as if Microsoft has deliberately chosen to make Windows 10
+  maximally evil on every dimension; to make a grab for total power
+  over anyone that doesn't drop Windows now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
+
+  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;It only gets worse with time.
+      &lt;a 
href="http://www.techworm.net/2014/10/microsofts-windows-10-permission-watch-every-move.html"&gt;
+      Windows 10 requires users to give permission for total 
snooping&lt;/a&gt;,
+      including their files, their commands, their text input, and their
+      voice input.&lt;/p&gt;
+  &lt;/li&gt;
+
+  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a

+      Windows 8.1 snoops on local searches.&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+  &lt;/li&gt;
+
+  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;And there's a
+      &lt;a href="http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article40836.html"&gt;
+      secret NSA key in Windows&lt;/a&gt;, whose functions we don't 
know.&lt;/p&gt;
+  &lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Microsoft's snooping on users did not start with Windows 10.
+   There's a lot more &lt;a href="/proprietary/malware-microsoft.html"&gt;

+      MacOS programs send files to Apple servers without asking

to
+      other snoops.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+      &lt;p&gt;It also demonstrates how you can't trust proprietary software,
+      because even if today's version doesn't have a malicious
+      functionality, tomorrow's version might add it. The developer won't
+      remove the malfeature unless many users push back hard, and the users

+  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to Edward Snowden,
+      &lt;a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-34444233"&gt;agencies can take 
over smartphones&lt;/a&gt;
+      by sending hidden text messages which enable them to turn the phones
+      on and off, listen to the microphone, retrieve geo-location data from the
+      GPS, take photographs, read text messages, read call, location and web
+      browsing history, and read the contact list. This malware is designed to
+      disguise itself from investigation.&lt;/p&gt;

+
+  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Samsung phones come with

href="http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/07/samsung-sued-for-loading-devices-with-unremovable-crapware-in-china/"&gt;apps
 that users can't delete&lt;/a&gt;,
+      and they send so much data that their transmission is a

+      requested by the user, clearly must constitute spying of some
+      kind.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

+scans your mobile phone's photo collections for known faces&lt;/a&gt;,
+      and suggests you to share the picture you take according to who
+      is in the frame.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+      &lt;p&gt;This spyware feature seems to require online access to some
+      known-faces database, which means the pictures are likely to be
+      sent across the wire to Facebook's servers and face-recognition
+      algorithms.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+      &lt;p&gt;If so, none of Facebook users' pictures are private

service.&lt;/p&gt;
+  &lt;/li&gt;
+
+  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Like most &ldquo;music screaming&rdquo; disservices, 
Spotify
+      is based on proprietary malware (DRM and snooping). In August
+      2015 it &lt;a
+href="http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/aug/21/spotify-faces-user-backlash-over-new-privacy-policy"&gt;
+      demanded users submit to increased snooping&lt;/a&gt;, and some
+      are starting to realize that it is nasty.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+      &lt;p&gt;This article shows the &lt;a
+href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160313214751/http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/08/21/spotify_worse_than_the_nsa/"&gt;
+      twisted ways that they present snooping as a way
+      to &ldquo;serve&rdquo; users better&lt;/a&gt;&mdash;never mind
+      whether they want that. This is a typical example of
+      the attitude of the proprietary software industry towards
+      those they have subjugated.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+      &lt;p&gt;Out, out, damned Spotify!&lt;/p&gt;
+  &lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many proprietary apps for mobile devices report which 
other
+    apps the user has
+    installed.  &lt;a 
href="http://techcrunch.com/2014/11/26/twitter-app-graph/"&gt;Twitter
+    is doing this in a way that at least is visible and
+    optional&lt;/a&gt;. Not as bad as what the others do.&lt;/p&gt;
+  &lt;/li&gt;
+
+  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;FTC says most mobile apps for children don't respect 
privacy:

href="https://freedom-to-tinker.com/blog/kollarssmith/scan-this-or-scan-me-user-privacy-barcode-scanning-applications/"&gt;proprietary
+      QR-code scanner apps snoop on the user&lt;/a&gt;. This is in addition to
+      the snooping done by the phone company, and perhaps by the OS in the
+      phone.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+      &lt;p&gt;Don't be distracted by the question of whether the app 
developers get
+      users to say &ldquo;I agree&rdquo;. That is no excuse for 
malware.&lt;/p&gt;

+  settings&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+    &lt;p&gt;That's easy to do because the system has no authentication when

+    proprietary, &lt;a 
href="/philosophy/free-software-even-more-important.html"&gt;which
+    means it demands blind faith from its users&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+    &lt;p&gt;Even if no one connects to the car remotely, the cell phone

is not

+      advertisers. By combining TV viewing information with online
