You don't. But it means that the title of the story is correct as worded: if you do use those tools, you are getting spied on. The fact that you're warned about that somewhere in the TOS doesn't change the fact, and the story is basically correct.

I think the word "spy" is problematic here because one might assume that the subject being spied on must be unaware of the fact, otherwise you no longer qualify as "being spied on".
The government doesnt spy on its cotizens, because the citizens know they are being spied on?
I hate that states do this, but yeah it’s called “surveillance” when legitimized by norms, statute, and precedent.
It's called surveillance _to_ legitimise it.
