    With any luck windows won’t continue to allow kernel anti-cheat much longer either. I also assume that sooner or later there may be government action on kernel anti-cheat, since many of the popular games/anti-cheats are Chinese owned. If tiktok spying is enough of a concern to ban the app, it’s a pretty short logical step to being thinking that Chinese companies shouldn’t be allowed to install full access, unremovable backdoors on millions of PCs.
