The reaction to this whole saga has been insane. Chill out people.

This isn't some corporate conspiracy, some grand ethical dilemma with an evil company on one side and some white knight hackers on the other.

They wanted to measure usage to make their product better. People seem to disagree, which, okay, but the outrage here is everything wrong with the internet.
