This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Anticheats can be very invasive, they can theoretically scan all the files inside your computer (whether it is practically done, I don't know but it surely feels like it's been done), take screenshots regularly, send your hardware information, etc. So yeah, if you are someone who takes security seriously...
Yeah I get that. I don't like foreign code on my machine. Trouble is, I dropped the ball with coding over twenty years ago and I kinda feel like the whole of windows is foreign code. I trust Linux more, but I don't really understand it. I tend to assume that when I'm online my device is sending something I don't want sent to some fucker I never even heard of. Insert shrug emoji
