ok, so I understand what a botnet is (many pc's strung together unwilingly to serve the agenda of the bot master) but what does it mean that "firefox is botnet"? or "Android is botnet" these seem to be common memes here, does this just entail that they are easily hacked or that google is doing this to us without our knowledge to increase their power? and if that's what you believe, /g/, to what end? to send me an add that i can just close? Unless i'm being bot-hoarded for a greasy black hat neck-beard somewhere, i don't quite think it's something to care about if google is just using it to advertise.

It's just a rural illiteracy and sullenness of a typical /g/ kid. They call everything a botnet what collects any data: anonymous or not about usage for statistical researches because they don't know the actual computer terminology.
