    Understandable. I don’t worry that much myself since I haven’t heard anything bad happening yet. And with ro rights to media, potential damage at least should be pretty limited.

      Depends entirely on where you live I would think.

      You’re in a post about people outraged about an opt-in anonymous data sharing option on Plex, and you’re not worried about known security issues because you haven’t heard of anything bad happening yet?

      Make it make sense.

        I’m not sure how a service selling my data and services having potential security issues are the same. Two different issues imo

        I don’t care if they probe for my media considering I block 99% of the world. Yes blah blah they could get around it. If someone really wants to see what I have on my media server that bad, I don’t think I’d be able to stop them anyway.
