It sounds like they plan on releasing the technical details in the coming days/weeks. I’m curious how its de-identified and processed.

    Telemetry is one more attack vector, and it’s not a small one at that.

    Product owners need to be laid off to stop the enshittification of these apps. Extremely disappointed in this move.

      In the article, they show how visible and easy the opt-out is. While I don’t like telemetry usage in apps, this appears very transparent and simple to disable from the splash screen.
