So once an person is victimized in this way, it becomes a free-for-all where future transgressions cease to matter?

Yep. Not free-for-all, but silently installed crap collecting metrics is well within their expectations.

    I don't expect software engineers to build stuff like this. I expect humans to treat other humans with dignity and respect. In fact, it makes me extremely angry when I see people do it, or advocate that others should tolerate it.
