I'm confused, what's different from what Google, Facebook, etc are doing?

Google does basically the same, when you log in to Chrome. Though in Google's case it's at least opt-in. The corporations should really be held responsible for privacy intrusions like this.

A Xiaomi spokesperson has denied allegations of wrongdoing and states that this is standard practice.
