I define a bad actor here as software that makes non-consensual network connections.
Agree on the software installs, and the risks attached. Modern OSes sandbox software wrt IO permissions, IMO we should be doing that sandboxing at the network level too.
Disagree with you on the opt-in. It should be neither, the software vendor should be the one asking permission, either explicitly or as a prompt on a firewall.
