You do not own the software that is on your hard drive, unless you wrote the whole OS yourself.

You only buy a license to use a product that someone else created, owns, and maintains.

This includes MS, Mac, and Android operating systems.

As a user, and not an owner, you have no reasonable right to privacy involving the use of an operating system, software application, firmware, or communications networks that you did not create and maintain yourself.

If you don’t like the terms of their agreements, then create your own software, hardware, and encrypted communications systems.

Read the EULA sometime.
