There’s nothing wrong with telemetry, it’s not supposed to contain identifying or private data. It’s information about feature usage, crashes etc. and it’s very useful for developers. Especially with open-source software, the devs are generally not your enemies, they just want to improve their products. If some apps spy on you under the guise of telemetry, that’s a different issue.

Right, but most of the time it’s for things that do not need to know where I am or any of my private data.
And then all of that conveniently gathered and stored information is just waiting for a bad actors (including corporations) to scoop it up.
