Maybe I've misunderstood and they are already doing it but are under pressure to stop.
it was part of their advertising blurb. I think the point is there is lots of innocent tech around that can be used for dodgy practices, and a lot of it just hasn't been thought through properly. I think the more people speak out about stuff like this, the better
