Exactly. Couldn't agree more. Spyware stuff like this should be outlawed and prohibited and some smart European countries already did this with Microsoft and Google cloud in public institutions and schools. All software in use by governments and public instiutions that are financed by taxes should adhere to principle of Public Money, Public Code and use only libre and opensource software. Not to mention they should insist on using only free and open formats (like OpenDocument Format for office documents), protocols, and standards. Otherwise it is so easy to get trapped into vendor-lockin and then held hostage of these BigTech/GAFAM surveillance corporations that are only getting worse as time goes by.
