@alcinnz everyone has a stake in ensuring opt-out telemetry is not acceptable

@davidgerard Well, Go's not accepting that argument...

@alcinnz i mean, Google wants opt-out telemetry in the Go compiler, it's going in

@davidgerard Yeah, I have extremely little faith in Google. They're experts at enclosing opensource! In their hands, CoCs are anecdotally but one tool for that...

@alcinnz Yeah, brain damage from Google’s spy culture there.

@davidgerard @alcinnz not sure what data is being sent, but according to GDPR (if that data falls under GDPR) opt-out is not an option, it must be opt-in.

@zoid @davidgerard The proposal hadn't fully decided, but it does say it'd be a handful of numbers with nothing personally identifying. Judging by proposed usecases it'd be things like which features you've used, which platform you're on, performance metrics, etc.

@alcinnz It shouldn’t be bad, but they still shouldn’t do it.

“Go get” reaching out to “proxy.golang.org“ to get packages is more worrying to me.
