It's quite simple: it's a computer script which is analysing everything that goes through your internet connection. Just because you're not illegally downloading anything doesn't mean it's not a breach of privacy.

As a comparison, imagine all your phone calls are recorded. Does it matter if you're not organising anything illegal through it?

That's a stupid comparison. If you're phone is being tapped it means a person is listening in on your conversations. This is a computer script, not a person.

That’s like claiming your bed is a pervert for watching you get dressed when it’s an inanimate object.
