That saying is what it is for good reasons, but the path to post-capitalist dystopian hell is paved with bad intentions covered with plausible deniability.
I'm sure they'll sell this on what it can hypothetically do that is useful to the owner, but I don't think any of us need to pretend this will be anything other than something inimical to our desires in the end. I don't need to give them their deniability.
The plausibility in plausible deniability evaporates instantly with device/service/software provider's accessibility.
But faux plausible deniability seems to be just as effective of a fig leaf.
