Great, so now they can fire all their on-site staff and force their customers to use some shitty, proprietary app/software that 100% grabs as much of their personal data as possible. All while the only people who save money in the long run is the corporation that puts these in, and the company selling it to them.

I'm sure the corpos that install these will lower their prices once they recoup the losses they have from the stealing right?....right?...

The cyberpunk corpo dystopia is upon us already.
