it's not anonymous unless it's submitted via tor. any telemetry that submits itself using my client ip is not anonymous and you're lying if you say it is.
i don't give a shit if it's public.
software that implements silent telemetry without advance, informed, opt-in consent is unethical malware and the people who make it should be ashamed of themselves.
@paoloredaelli @Mte90@hostux.social
i've pcapped a fresh install of firefox (recently!) and it sent all sorts of connections to mozilla on first launch even before i was prompted for telemetry. the facts don't match your claims.
@paoloredaelli @Mte90@hostux.social as i wrote in my article, many types of network requests serve as telemetry even when not intended as such, which is why it's important to not make any network requests prior to user-initiated actions, and even then, perhaps batch them so they are not correlated with user activity in time. i wish more applications would embed tor like wasabi wallet, as to not cause *all* network requests to amount to a coarse track log.
