I agree with you. In my country, almost every bank mandates that users install "online security modules" on their own computers before they'll allow them to log into their account via browser. These software packages were causing massive instability and low performance on the computers of everyone I know. I reverse engineered one of these things and found kernel mode software intercepting every single network connection and doing god knows what with that information.

"Just choose a company that doesn't abuse you" is absolutely invalid since abusing us gives them competitive advantage and they will compete to see who can get away with abusing us the most. Abuse should simply be illegal and the companies doing it shouldn't even be afforded the right to exist to begin with. People should not have to suffer abuse in order to learn their lesson and go elsewhere, abuse should simply not happen to begin with and any corporation violating this assumption needs to get fined out of existence.
