Meanwhile, features like "secure" boot will stop you from patching this spyware out when it inevitably becomes impossible to disable completely via ordinary means, and even if you manage to find an exploit to "jailbreak" through, remote attestation will ostracise your machine from all the services that will eventually use the "telemetry" gathered to grant or deny you access based on how "human" you are.

In a system where everyone breaks the law (because there are so many) and everyone is spied on (so you can prove anyone did some sort of “ crime”) you can now coerce anyone you like if you get to make the decision of who to charge (like governments do) which is useful for silencing descent or opposition.
