    Modern gaming consoles are far more like computers than anyone seems to want to acknowledge. They possess some of the same vulnerabilities, and they can very easily be used to harvest your data. They're not immune to attack via malicious code, either. The code simply needs to be a bit more specialized.

    Incidentally, this also means some console games do include anti-cheat/anti-tamper software. Some of this software can be quite invasive.

    And it's already part of the system, and it works perfectly with no slowdowns, no crashes, no issues.
    Yes eventually all consoles are jailbroken and unauthorized code can run on then, but for now the ps5 is still safe ( yes I do know some code can be run on them on lower firmwares, nothing that could be called a jailbreak yet, but since you need to be on the latest update of the firmware to connect to PSN, it's still safe).
    Privacy??? On the internet??? What's that, lol. That should tell you all you need to know.
