If there is transparency with regards to the algorithm used, name one good reason why anonymized data is verboten. Not alleging there is such transparency here

If there is transparency with regards to the algorithm used, name one good reason why anonymized data is verboten.
Not alleging there is such transparency here, just raising the question. It always seems like even anonymous telemetry is considered harmful, and I don't understand why that is from a conceptual standpoint.
- esotericn 8y agoIt's conceptually difficult for me to understand how anonymised data can be useful in any way. There's probably, like, a particular way I move the mouse from the bottom left to the top right corner of my screen. A 'mouse cursor gait', if you will. To be frank though, there doesn't need to be a reason. You're treating this as a Stockholm-syndrome esque situation - I don't need to use Windows, I definitely don't need to justify why I don't like certain aspects of it.
- LocalH 8y agoMine was more a general question, not specifically regarding Windows itself. Some people do need to use Windows for various reasons. Consider yourself lucky if you don’t.
