> If you ask a user if they're willing to share crash reports only to improve the reliability of the software, I'd bet most people would be ok with this.
You do realize the majority of people are completely oblivious as to why privacy matters as it relates to their data collection.
It's not that they're willing to do anything. It's that they're passive/apathetic when faced with vague prompts telling them about a matter they don't have insight on, after being bombarded by terms of service agreements, cookie pop ups, etc for years and years.
> This is a fair position to take, but assuming good faith all round, one that I think will typically be a minority.
If they were aware of privacy implications / exactly what's being collected on them and how that data is being used, then it's safe to say that they'd be the majority. Can't blame them for not taking the time to read into the matter either, as most outside of tech are wrapped up with a million other hostilities in their daily lives.
Defend it all you want, but it's just one more unethical thing screwing people over.
