I for one have NOTHING to hide from EA's Origin Client file snooper?!

This Reddit thread:http://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/com...ing_files/

Led to this article:http://wccftech.com/ea-spying-file-snoop...n/?share=1

Which led to EA's PR department frantically circling the wagons, initiating damage control and promising they'll "Get to the bottom of this."

Oh and my question regarding this bit in the Origin Client TOS: “if you do not want to use this technology, do not play.“ When should I expect to read terminology like that, BEFORE or AFTER I've coughed up $60 per title, per scrap of DLC?
