Published purpose
This project seeks to unpack the privacy implications of “rootkit-style” surveillance in “anti-cheat” software by examining: (1) the technical reality of kernel-level access versus the vague disclosures found in consumer consent mechanisms and deeper within their privacy stacks, (2) the coercive nature of “consent” when such invasive tools are a mandatory condition of play, and (3) the security vulnerabilities introduced by granting third-party gaming vendors deep system access.
