The issue here is that there is no way of knowing what'll spy on you without using it and running these services.

Yes I know. This person has been saying 'no one forces you to use atom, just don't use it' as a solution to spying but also says he runs DNS tools to prevent rogue programs.

That is a flat wrong summation of sneak's arguments in this discussion. I think you must have misread usernames, because sneak is saying quite the opposite of what you think he's saying.

Note that sneak is not sjwright (the other person in this thread you've responded to and who's argument you seem to have misattributed to sneak.)
