You have no idea what you are talking about. Quantum is a name for a variety of technologies in Firefox, all of which have a shared goal of speeding the browser up. None of them have anything to do with telemetry.
Also, Looking Glass collected no data. It says it right there in the article.

- dang 9y agoIf you use negatively charged language about the person you're talking to, you're taking a big step away from factual exchange. On an internet forum, where we have precious little context to convey intent, that's almost always a destructive thing to do—and since it's both unnecessary and easy to avoid, we ask people to just not do it. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
