- johndough 6y agoOpt-out telemetry, as opposed to opt-in telemetry, usually violates GDPR. This issue is being discussed at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/47284 https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/47284 VSCodium is recommended as an alternative https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium
- sneak 6y agoLast I checked, opting out of telemetry doesn't disable the autoupdate checks (another inadvertent form of telemetry), and also sends a telemetry event when opting out, which is a clear violation of user consent.
