Additional potentially useful reading:

https://github.com/audacity/audacity/pull/835 (actually cited in that

https://github.com/SndChaser/AudacityTelemetryComments/blob/main/DataCollectionVsTelemetry.md

I think from a Linux (Audio) perspective, this is also an interesting 
comment, incidentally in that same issue about telemetry:
