Let’s dial things back a bit!

I’ve raised legitimate technical concerns about the permissions
EtreCheck requires, especially Full Disk Access. It’s standard practice
to be cautious about granting such extensive access to any third-party
tool — especially one that sends data online and whose author refuses to
engage with paying users.

Asking whether Full Disk Access might leave a system vulnerable is
entirely reasonable. It’s not an accusation — it’s a question.

If the software is safe and well-designed, it should be able to stand up
to scrutiny without personal attacks, dismissals, or accusations of
“libel.” I note you didn’t answer the question, just deflected with
indignation.

So, again, I ask:-

Once EtreCheck has Full Disk Access, what technical protections are in 
place to prevent misuse — deliberate or accidental?

If you can answer that constructively, I’m listening.
