Correct. Telemetry should _always_ be opt-in and explicitly an easy choice to not engage.

Any other mode of operation is morally bankrupt.




Really? The hyperbole does not help anyone here.

I don't sign a term sheet when I order at McDonalds but you can be damn sure they count how many big macs I order. Does that make them morally bankrupt? Or is it just a normal business operation that is actually totally reasonable?


McDonald's is probably one of the most morally bankrupt companies out there, but I see your point.


> Does that make them morally bankrupt?

Yes, it does.
