A key part of gaining trust is to respect privacy. The two things aren't on opposite sides of the balance scales.

I actually trust Rossmann on privacy issues, but I hesitate to trust an organization just because I trust a key individual in it. As he points out, telemetry has been abused just as every other form of data collection has been abused. As such, I will continue to do my best to avoid or block it. Even from organizations that I trust more than others.
