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 :)
