That's too bad. Guess you don't get any telemetry data if you want to develop ethical open software.
The answer isn't to bend your ethics.
If a take a dollar from everyone but it's opt out, that's just theft with extra steps.
If I make it opt in, nobody is going to give me the dollar, but that doesn't make opt out morally justifiable.
- philosopher1234 4y agoWhy is it unethical? People in every day life constantly assume things about one another and take actions that affect one another without asking first, and this is a practical necessity, so if the reason is that "you may not do anything without me tell you its ok" I don't think thats a defensible position.
