To be clear, I consent to send telemetry from some of the tools I use and deploy.
Their common pattern? They wait a bit, and ask nicely about whether I want to participate. Also, the dialog box asking the question defaults to off.
I read the fine print, look a the data they push, ponder and decide whether I'm cool with it or not.
Give me choice, be upfront and transparent. Then we can have a conversation.
