Truly anonymous telemetry can be done. What programs are being pulled, speeds, locations, but never revealing user info — it can be done.

- kgwxd 6y agoIt can't be done, IP address alone is a problem. And even if there's trust today, that could change at any time. I'd rather not have the lifetime chore of making sure I still trust something I never wanted to have to trust in the first place.
- TeMPOraL 6y agoThere's no truly anonymous telemetry, there's only anonymous until combined with other data sets. You'd have to only store and process aggregate records (like "# of users using feature of X") and never store individual records, but if your application phones home without my knowledge, my trust is already violated and I won't believe you if you say you only store/process aggregates.
