What? You must be joking. Really? The entire thing was about opt-in error reporting?

.... seriously, that can't be it, can it?

Not really that simple, it was an apparent change to the privacy policy that vaguely anticipated collection of arbitrary user data, which shook the confidence of the open source community on the project. The fact this happened right after audacity was sold was the cherry on top.

Changes were eventually reverted or revised.

Were they reverted? I'll have to check later, but an official statement from Muse Group stated they provided the data they collected to third parties so idk. If the telemetry is still there then I'm not downloading it, Open Source projects generally don't need telemetry to begin with.

yep... really just that...

i've used it forever with a very restrictive firewall and i've never seen it do anything unexpected... or any phoning home at all...
