That's pretty much what I assume is true of any software I use these days, and it doesn't bother me.
As long as governments need a warrant to access my data, I'm okay with their ability to do so - it's incumbent on me to be careful about the information I allow into software.
Product usage telemetry and crash reports from an open source audio editing app is an obvious whitelist from me.
If they start scraping the contents of my hard drive, that's another thing, but Occam's Razor doesn't indicate that motivation here.
- butwhywhyoh 5y agoThe problem is as more and more people like yourself acquiesce to this kind of surveillance, we will slowly approach the day when another version of you is fine with a government scraping your hard drive data as long as it requires a warrant to access it.
- rattray 5y ago"This kind of surveillance" meaning… crash reports from audio-editing software? I am absolutely NOT fine with audio-editing software scraping my hard drive, and would uninstall it immediately and request my friends do the same if that came to light. This isn't that.
