As far as I know the only major software developer that does software telemetry consent right is Mozilla and the way they do telemetry in Firefox.

While I'm here, I recently found that Discord is using a newish telemetry domain in their desktop application. It doesn't seem to be used in the mobile application (at least not on iOS). As far as I can tell, the telemetry call only happens at application start. The domain is dc-telemetry.net. I don't know what kind of telemetry this is being used for.

@packetcat@tenforward.social Valve (Steam) is pretty good too: opt-in, with a popup, every time, and a full copy of what they're going to tell the mothership.

@packetcat@tenforward.social Wait, so there is a team within Mozilla that understands consent? Maybe they can go thump... err I mean impart that wisdom on the AI features group.
