My device. MINE. You can't have it.
You may not install games or "suggested apps" on it without my permission.
You may not preinstall apps and prevent me from uninstalling them.
You may not show me anything I did not ask for, whether advertisements or pop-ups that helpfully inform me that no malware has been detected and thus no action is required.
You may not send my information somewhere else without my permission, whether my credit card numbers or my browsing habits.
You may not throw new icons on my clean desktop every time I install updates.
You may not redirect my Internet searches to your own search engine.
You may not use my accounts to send phishing messages to my contacts.
You may not use my device to spam anyone else's device with information until it crashes.
You may not add toolbars to my browser.
You may not beg me to make this program my default at any point after I first run it.
You may not throw away files I have downloaded because they are not from an organization you recognize.
You may not install half an operating system with every program and then take fifteen minutes to install updates for them.
You may not do anything involving "analytics". I might make an exception if I specifically trust you as an organization or individual.
You may not add cookies to my browser that will not in any way benefit me. "Targeted advertising" does not benefit me; you know what I want right now by which web page I am visiting.
You may not pop up a survey request that won't go away if I ignore it.
You may not read my emails.
You may not disable my working camera because some sensor has gone bad.
You may not refuse to use my working camera because my other camera is broken.
You may not sneak yet another AI onto my device through program updates.
You may not refuse to do anything whatsoever, including close, unless I reach for my mouse and click you.
You may not turn my Number Lock off when I did not press the Number Lock button.
You may not make my programs to freeze when I tell them to open.You may not countermand any decision I make because you think that you know what I want better than I do.
My device shall do what I tell it to do. My device shall not do what I do not wish it to do, except if I tell it to do so.
Very little in this post is true. "My" devices mostly obey the orders of various corporations with blithe disregard for me. They might do anything; I would never know. I can foresee no happy ending.
