Yeah, with the Vault 7 releases and recent leaks showing NSA follows homeless people’s connections (who tend to hang out at libraries due to a lack of 3rd spaces), I don’t doubt there’s specific tracking, malware and other unwanted software at libraries. I don’t have any sources of this, but it wouldn’t surprise me
Maybe I’m overly parandoid because ::gestures at everything::
So issue here is privacy, the library is likely scanning whatever device connected, not just the files and file metadata
I trust the library a lot more than I trust Staples or a similar for-profit business.
Seriously? The library computers are running Windows 8 I highly doubt they have the technical expertise to do anything. Also why would they?

I kind of doubt it. Local libraries have a hard time staying open due to funding.
