Silently installed device scanning software is spyware whether it sends data or not.

The only reason it wouldn't report is to avoid legal liability. Protections like this are thin and hinge upon the legal system determining whether the applet's knowledge is an extension of Google's.

The other benefit is there's no fun and games on the windows boot so i can't get distracted from work. If it was just a quick shortcut away I'd get nothing done.

The snopes article doesn't say it's outright false, just that it's not based on available evidence. So stating it as fact rather than rumor is misinformation.

The Vatican has failed to deny it for over 20 years of inquiry. The impact of this claim is benign compared to pretty much anything else the church has factually done.

it's funny and harmless, meme on.
