It annoys me that this is being so directly compared to Superfish. Yes the technical aspect is similar but the intent is very different. Intent matters.
There is no product, service, business or political cause that justifies destroying the security and integrity of the internet. This places people affected by this in an incredibly risky situation. And then rather that recall the laptops, Dell is issuing removal instructions and asking customers (many of who may be receiving the laptops second hand via personal or corporate means) to fix the problem for them.
If our law were even remotely up to date, this would result in at least a crippling fine for the company that did it.
This is the distinction the person you are replying to is trying to make, because although similar to superfish, it is not quite the same.
