"But we notified you!"

Consent does not work that way.

It keeps being pointed out that this is a nonprofit run by volunteers - this simply underscores your utter lack of a legitimate business use case for spying on your users.

The only reason people insist on opt-out (ie nonconsensual) telemetry is because they know they don't actually have consent and their ingest data would drop like a rock if they had to, you know, check with their users for consent before uploading their usage. It's the old "she never said stop!" dodge.

Consent matters.
