    I think that’s fine. Your privacy is as valuable as you think it is. If you care about privacy, then you’ll be on the lookout for this but if you don’t even care to bother taking a look at what you’re signing up for, you obviously don’t care about your privacy

      I gotta agree. So long as the option isn’t hidden, I think it’ll help improve the quality of fedora. The FOSS community has a knee jerk reaction when telemetry is mentioned, but it’s all about giving the end user the freedom to choose which encompasses them being aware of it in the first place. When that stops being provided, we should be angry.
