Steve is LARPing investigative journalism* and jumped on fairly benign stuff without understanding what half of it does and claimed it was spying. His main problem is that without knowing what’s normal you can’t tell what is suspicious. Hope he’s got enough money for lawyers since LG has a solid defamation case on hands.
* I dare anyone to say going to front desk at random Nvidia branch / office and asking for someone to provide a comment is normal behaviour of someone who knows how things work.
