For ad industry, trust is gone now. But for telemetry? I think most people don't much care.


Until you realize that most telemetry infrastructure is provided by ad companies (Google Analytics for example).


That, and additionally, if there's an opportunity to monetize data from (or derived from) telemetry further, companies won't hesitate selling it (or access to it) to third parties.

That, and additionally, if the data is stored, it's a question of when, not if, it'll become a part of some data breach.

To developers and entrepreneurs feeling surprised by the pushback here, please take a honest look at the state of the software industry. Any trust software companies enjoyed by default is gone now.


They don’t care because they don’t know.
