If we don't criticize people for doing bad things they should never have done, how can we expect other people to not do those bad things in the first place?

- barsonme 9y agoIn perpetuity? Halfway serious question, fwiw.
- shabbyrobe 9y agoIt’s the way the wind is blowing. Even Firefox is infested with invasive, on-by-default telemetry now. The price of freedom from it is eternal vigilance. I’d very much prefer Canonical not to get it into their heads that it’s OK to do it again.
- ibotty 9y agoNot saying that telemetry should not be opt-in, but sending every keystroke to amazon and sending aggregated, anonymized data is not the same.
- mulmen 9y agoYes, in perpetuity. Don't betray your user's interests. It's a capital offense to your credibility. This isn't a riddle. Ubuntu may still be a good OS today and if so you should use it but that doesn't mean their previous actions didn't happen.
- unethical_ban 9y agoIt was always something people could turn off, and they were very open about the feature existing. This wasn't the cross-site ad tracking that's probably more severe on every website you go to.
- webkike 9y agoIf it was something that was off by default you could turn on that would be fine, but the fact that you have to turn it off implies that they are taking advantage of people who aren't aware of the feature's existance in the first place.
