If software compromises my privacy, I feel that I have been betrayed and lost something that I can not take back.
If you don't get to automatically participate in a "anonymous" usage survey, have you lost something you can not undo?
That in my opinion, is why software should always err on the side of privacy.
- TheLogothete 10y agoPeople just LOOVE to be outraged. For example in this thread people rage about google getting hands on their data. When I point out that the webmaster has to explicitly chose to share the data with google, I get downvoted. When I say that GA prohibits the use of PII, I get downvoted. It doesn't matter that I'm right. People WANT to be outraged. Reason, no reason, doesn't matter.
- ThisIs_MyName 10y agoChill, dude. Most of us dislike GA and its monopoly on web/mobile tracking. Why trust GA to respect webmaster options when you don't have to? ...anyway, complaining about getting downvoted is a surefire way to keep getting downvoted :P
