Hmm, you may have heard that the USA used mobile network telemetry data to drop missiles on top of people's heads.


Sorry, I forgot I was on the internet. I should have said "usage telemetry." I forgot that being on the internet means that people can't really follow unless everything is spelled out precisely. It doesn't matter that the whole conversation was about usage telemetry, it needs to be specified.

Are you switching the conversation topic from open source software telemetry to mobile phone tracking? That's a whole other thing, and doesn't contribute to the in-progress discussion on open source software telemetry, nor does it prove me (or anyone else) wrong.


I’m sorry but how do the two differ? Specifically regarding the potential of privacy intrusion, identity fingerprinting and localization?
