Yeah, that’s going to be abused horrendously. The FBI can legally remotely install software on any computer they like now?

it’s ok, the NSA has backdoors built into all major cpu’s & gpu’s at the hardware level. the FBI randomly installing software is nothing, comparatively

This is a poorly written article. The FBI did not access computers randomly looking for the botnet like it claims, they used the botnet infrastructure to uninstall itself.
There are still extremely valid privacy concerns here, especially considering potential applications of plain view laws, but it should still be presented factually.
