Yes, I mostly agree with you there.  I sometimes call things evil to
get an emotional reaction, and I believe RMS is doing the same thing
here.  I'm sure he believes it is evil to a certain degree, and in
other cases I have agreed with some of his "evil" labels, but not in
this case.  I understand that all the tracking data could be used to
do something evil, but I suspect most of it will only reach the level
of naughty.
