But in general, these kind of situations are to be expected from a majority of companies/people/products etc… that get easily lured by the amounts they can earn if only doing a small nasty thing… Unfortunately this is in our human blood and only those who are strong and can control themselves will succeed in getting people’s appreciation by continuing by the same principles they started the thing.
Take even Ubuntu as an example… or maybe not… maybe from the beginning they said that they will send “anonymized” data to amazon when you’ll search for stuff in your OS and maybe they said from the beginning that they will by default check a box during the OS install that would send telemetry data to their servers… if this is the case, I’m fine with them
