The EULA (that you couldn't possibly read entirely) makes this all pretty "okay," in legalese.

I think it's time that we legislate EULAs, with terms similar to credit card offers (e.g: requiring that interest be listed clearly in large bold print on the front of all offers) that make them shorter and more understandable; obviously, data is "the new oil" so of course everything is opt-out (if at all possible), and you cannot trust settings (e.g: to survive an update).

After last year's Guest/Wifi breach (wireless access spanning across virtually all VLANs on same hardware), I'm at the point where my subnets are mostly offline (entirely disconnected). Plex is now added to the list (after last month's cryptominer intrusions), entirely local (no physical connection to interwebs, entirely separate access point for local streaming).

Agreed. Adhesion contracts that consumers cannot understand or meaningfully agree to should not be enforceable.
