This incident did not, as far as I can tell, harm anyone's security or privacy. This add-on doesn't appear to track you, send your information to anyone, or grant access to your system to anyone else. People are upset to find the add-on on their systems, but what it actually does is not incompatible with the above paragraph.

Yea, I guess.

I am more and more under the impression that the best satire is written without the intention to do so. There are so many things said and written by public figures nowadays that a sane mind could never come up with, even if they tried.

So, from a certain perspective, yes it is.
