Lol screw that and Cisco. Where is a deux ex pic with "I never asked for this" picture when you need it?

I'm in love with the idea of just how bad EULAs will be in a decade. It'll be a perfect storm of butthurt. Companies just get more and more bold with EULAs.

You can probably imagine what's going to happen to their sister company Netgear's routers too.

*Sigh*

get used to it guys, the way technology is going, we wont have the same kind of privacy that we used to, thats why ive seen this time period going forth being called the post-privacy era. you cant change it, all you can do is hope its regulated properly. we havent even scratched the surface when it comes to a monolithic integrated system that reports on anything, this is going to be a good thing, we just need to manage it right.

This country was founded on an idea. Many came to the colonies for religious purposes or for business, but the basic core of our foundation is the idea that all men and women are created equal. Not only is this under law, but also that no barriers except what the individual puts up can keep a person down. There are and will be obstacles to achieving what one desires, but anything can be overcome with time and effort.
 
Not to hate on you, or say that you are wrong, but we CAN do something about it. Stop using cisco routers then, that can stop them. We are consumers, in order to wake the company up, we need to answer with our wallets. Same thing goes for video game companies, electronics, and markets. However, since we have a huge population of uneducated people, we are bound to stick with the majority ruling. This is Cisco though, if the cisco users can't change at all, then I guess there's no choice.

I just installed a Cisco router yesterday at a neighbors house and updated the firmware, it never asked me to setup any kind of cloud services. I'll make sure to let them know about this though. Not cool.

and that is why i don't buy consumer equipment, i buy strictly cisco enterprise hardware.

No one gets between me and my pron!

Short lived.

I guess i am lucky i got a ASUS router... It is going to be hard to get my to by a linksys after this.

So does this mean that Cisco can see all the pron i watch regardless of my in private browsing?

"...but included a terms of service that forbade porn and suggested Cisco would be recording your browsing habits. "
 
 
you ask me...this accounts to spying and would be illegal in most countries

if a router is not ddwrt/tomoto ready i will not buy it for this exact reason
 
 

How does it work..you need to be routed to get to the internet dont you? So you are constantly being double routed into this stupid cloud crap. 
 
Router routes you to router cloud that routes you again. 

awesome!! so glad enough people got to together to stop this. im sure all cisco really cared about was all the people that were putting this on social media and then saying do not buy cisco products and heres why, lmfao.

good thing i've had my Motorola Modeom/Router for a couple years now or was it a year ... regardless I love it

If you have an old PC laying around, just make a PFsense box or something similar....then your only at the mercy of your own ridiculous whims.

With how cheap you can get hardware for anymore you could make your own linux based router that is far more powerful, secure, and customizable. The main issue there is making a nice compact, low power version with enough ethernet ports and with the wifi capabilities you'd want.

yup
my old thinkpad is setup for that ,that and a old switch attached to it
I happen to have 2 networks at home

so this
I have a old enterprise switch/Router/Modeom
heck I just have to take the test then I'm net+ sert. and I see things in the setting I don't even know what to do with
it has atm support too lol

Cisco/Linksys has had a change of heart. They now offer non cloud based firmware as well. So, the user now has a choice. Many people raised a stink and made Cisco/Linksys come to a quick response.

Yo dawg, i heard you like routing...

This is utterly crap.
 
So what Cisco is trying to tell me is, I'm selling my privacy to you? No thanks. 
 
Time to buy a ethernet hub. Cheap and off the so call "cloud"

It is strange for them to have that in EULA,  it didn't take them long to back peddle saying "we don't track or monitor web habits".  Looks like people better keep a close eye on Cisco, they wouldn't of put that in EULA for no reason at all.
