That doesn't really matter, once you have data and the cops show up with a warrant asking for it, you are required by law to hand it over

- gizdan 5y agoYou cannot hand over what you don't have. A software being offline has that advantage going for it. You don't see law enforcement going to the GIMP's development team saying "we need this persons GIMP data", which is arguably more likely to be abused.
- babypuncher 5y agoRight, but I'm just explaining why there is nothing unusual or alarming about a privacy policy saying that they will comply with law enforcement when legally required. This is all a non-issue since the telemetry is entirely opt-in and can even be stripped out entirely with a single make flag.
