I guess that begs the question - if Go was an independent project (totally unattached from google) and had the exact same telemetry plans, how would you feel?


Better, because most independent projects aren't the world's biggest advertising company whose business model entirely revolves around invading people's privacy as much as possible.

But that doesn't mean it would be good. The fundamental misunderstanding of Go's place as infrastructure rather than a product remains. And even though I acknowledge that spying on your users provides useful insight into their behavior, that doesn't mean spying on users is good.
