It's open source, go find out yourself rather than guessing. https://github.com/Microsoft/Terminal https://github.com/Microsoft/Terminal

  Even in the worse case, people could fork it and distribute a telemetry-free version. Here is an example, a telemetry-free distribution of VSCode: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium Kudos to Microsoft for making the new Terminal open source (and here's hoping that it doesn't phone home with any private information!)

  That doesn't answer the question. There is no telemetry in the vscode codebase but it does get included for the release builds. Same with chromium/chrome.

    As someone else replied, yes it does actually answer the question: https://github.com/Microsoft/Terminal/blob/master/src/terminal/parser/telemetry.cpp https://github.com/Microsoft/Terminal/blob/master/src/termin...

      My question was rhetorical. The problem I’m trying to highlight is how the F is it ok for a terminal to be spying on you, and what kind of justification do they have for collecting this data (it’s not like there’s much useful info to collect here - it’s a terminal with very few features).

      Fair point, you can't be sure that's the only telemetry getting included though, as per the precedent set by code/chrome.
