If someone lived in China or something it might be a good idea to disable it .. or if you use wifi or live with a family that constantly streams everything.

Only issue I ever had was from a game crash and that hasn't happened in a very long time since I don't mod or anything.

I've been in Japan for many years and its not an issue here. As I said too, its a known issue to devs who are working on as per the news today.
