Depends on your definition of worse.

On the one hand you’re 100% being used as a proxy for illegal activities that could get the cops sent to your door looking to do a search for csam and the defenses of equipment on your network are being probed and either directly exploited or catalogued and sold to the highest bidder. Cameras and microphones on compromised equipment are activated and used periodically to perform surveillance and monitoring and there is at least one documented example of someone being blackmailed as part of a pig butchering scam because of that.

On the other hand Google wants to sell your information to advertisers and apple wants to use it to advertise directly to you.

So it’s kinda six or one half dozen of the other.
