> What privacy concerns? Most HN people are anti-telemetry and tracking. I've never actually seen these privacy concerns being fleshed out with specific details of how logs could be abused but it really doesn't matter if a real mechanism for abuse exists. What matters is people fear that it may exist and stop using the tool as a result. I suggest taking a look at the thread suggesting telemetry in the Go toolchain (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34707583 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34707583). You can judge for yourself if there's legitimate concerns being surfaced, but there's no doubt that there's significant opposition to such the proposal. Rust is getting ahead of this discussion by making it clear that their log collection won't phone home and it won't be automated.
