On a related note, not believing some things because you cannot prove them is a road to naivety.

For me personally, based on the plethora of evidence given by other online platforms and applications, I think it's perfectly sane to assume that yes, your data is being slurped and logged. Maybe that's not a bad thing, maybe it is, but at this point I think that ship has sailed.

Can I prove it? No, mostly because the manufacturers have specifically designed it in such a way to be unprovable.



> based on the plethora of evidence

Yep, this is fine.

I'm not saying "don't believe anything you can't prove". I'm saying "don't believe everything you can't disprove".

Believe based on evidence, as you appear to be doing.

Windows is spying on your use of System Settings? Good evidence.

Linux process is spying on your keystrokes? No evidence.
