Why do people use obvious spyware when free software exists?

>>isatty+xi
Telemetry isn't the same thing as spying on the user. People use it because it's not actually spying on them.

>>charci+Zj
It is literally spying on the user.

Unless you're somehow saying telemetry doesn't report anything about what a user is doing to it's home server.

>>malfis+Ok
In my mind, the difference is that spying does or can contain PII, or PII can be inferred from it, where telemetry is incapable of being linked to an individual, to a reasonable extent.

>>nomel+Fl
Every single piece of telemetry sent over the internet includes PII - the IP address of the sender - by virtue of how our internet protocols are designed.
