Telemetry itself is the tool. OFC these ghouls of corps are misusing it to do all that. That doesn't make the concept of telemetry evil.

    Yeah, device telemetery, idk about OP but in my opinion not all software should have automatic telemetry turned on by default

    Whether it's turned on or not is orthogonal to whether it's being used ethically.

    Not really, telemetry has various problems

    • makes consume of mobile data higher*
    • reduce battery life
    • you don't know what is sent

    While it's fine on a random app, it's NOT okay on the OS which holds way more sensitive infos and should not drain my battery

    *it's a problem only for higher amounts which is definetly the case for OS telemetry as they are complex and require more ample feedback and data
