Here's the page about it:

Read that instead of someones rant about it, which imo seems a bit obtuse.

This sounds fine, I've no problem emitting telemetry as long as it is 100% anonymous and can't be traced to individuals
-
Well I do have a problem with that. Since we don't see eye to eye, dont you agree then that it should have been opt in instead of a hidden opt out?
-
Let's be honest, opt in telemetry features will collect so little data they might es well not exist.
Considering that ot is supposed to reduce user tracking by tracking ads directly, it's a net gain for everyone.
-
I do agree with that :)

Same, although I have lingering paranoia that any data recorded by this might be traced back to me by making inferences when combined with other data; however, unlike the OOP, I will say I don't really know what I'm talking about.
