    Lots of claims this is happening

    I don’t know of this is happening, but I don’t see how a small automatic updare couldn’t “add this feature”

    Considering how easy it would be to catch,

    how easy it would be?

      Super easy. Anyone who knows networking could detect new device connections on an open network they set up. I know next to nothing about networking and I could set it up in 10 minutes, 5 of which would be finding my old router in the basement.

      So I’m not going to give this a moment’s thought until someone brings receipts. It’s not hard to check if this is happening.
