Could it have been more of a slap on the wrist than $16 million? Bullshit. Give the FTC some teeth. Let them fine companies into non-existence.
and sold it to over 100 third parties without the knowledge of customers, the complaint says.
Fine them every penny of the sale price multiplied by a few. Until it costs companies more than they make off the deal to do this, they won’t stop.
Per much any and all anti-virus/privacy software made by a for-profit company is bloatware at best and malicious at worst. Just use the built in Windows Defender if you’re still using Windows or nothing if you’re on Mac or Linux.
What a devastating tap on the wrist!!!
