Why don't people let the police install cameras in their home!? It just cuts down on crime. If you aren't committing crimes you have nothing to worry about.

  This is an incredibly bad read on what telemetry is and a terrible analogy. Total hyperbole and non sequitur. Most telemetry in the real world is literally just like Sentry and "oh there's a crash or error. Here's what the user may have done when it happened" or "this feature is not used as much while this one is very popular". Equating it to police spying on people and imprisoning would-be criminals or innocents is utter nonsense

  Counterpoint: the owner of a brick-and-mortar retail business is able to observe the behavior of customers as they peruse their store.

    Counter counter point: What I do on my computer is different than what I do in a public space

      Valid, agreed. Privacy might be assumed when using a computer whereas people in a public store understand that they’re in public.
