So the reason to track and identify every app on every device and have a switch to remotely brick it is to reduce spam ?

My BS detectors just tripped.

Would you be ok if your home had the same "security" features? Say BigCo home builders install a front door, sensors, cameras and scanners in your home that allow them to monitor track and remotely lock you out of your home, your water and power supply ? Their reason? ... so that they can shutdown "bad neighbors" and keep the neighborhood "clean". And remember there's no fkin way you can get rid of those scanners, cameras and other control mechanisms.

But ya'know they gave you a piece of paper that says "we respect your privacy" with BigCo logo on it ?

I don't get why Apple, MS or anyone should be able to get away with this.
