Most of stuff that they are talking requires use to have CFW in order to still. Hardware information are probably for statistical information and show me at least one service that they don't log messages, specially once that are hosted in the cloud. and they didnt talk anything about apatch, as long as they got this in EULA that you accepted it's fine. Best of all this log have nothing to do with the current situation, it's normal CFW development talk
