The top comment on the telemetry commit [1] indicates it is disabled by default, and on compiling as well. Their reasoning for adding it sounds legit. Am I missing something here, what is the point of this fork?

- labawi 5y agoThe commit message indicates it is opt-in, but if you read their privacy policy [1], there is 0 mention of any right to choose and they consider it their right to get data about your system (overreach) and data necessary for law enforcement, litigation and authorities’ requests (very disturbing). With a privacy policy like this, I don't really care what the commit message says, as it looks like they are preparing for more. They even consider it their right to collect data for litigation to defend their interests, so they might start sending audio fingerprints. BTW, they shoved a CLA onto (some?) developers, most likely so they can release a non-GPL version. Fork is in order.
