  Honestly, if what you want to do is delete your account, I don't see a problem with going ahead and accepting the new terms. Then they'll have telemetry covering what you did during the account deletion process. Once your account is deleted, that consent becomes a total nonissue.

    it is more complicated than that, data without user_ids was already collected, but it wasn't possible to link them to accounts on gitlab side. the moment you accept new terms, single telemetry event sent allows to links all past events to your gitlab account.

      True enough. But (assuming they actually implement this in this way), there's nothing much that can be done about it aside from acknowledge that trusting them was a mistake. You could always just abandon the account and never use it again, I suppose.

  We've rolled back the ToS update and had not implemented telemetry yet, we're reconsidering our plan based on the feedback. More info and further discussion can be found here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/growth/product/issues/164 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/growth/product/issues/164
