Wow, who would've thought?

Is that really a surprise?

Can you point to where it says that in the report? It actually says:

an IME will commonly reach out over the network to a cloud-based service for suggestions if suitable suggestions are not available in the input method’s local database.

So it doesn't send "every key typed".

Literally says in bold even:

the keystrokes of Sogou Input Method users can be decrypted by a network eavesdropper, informing the eavesdropper of what users are typing as they type.

AKA every keystroke
