I'm a little surprised by how little chest thumping there is about apple collecting telemetry like this. I expected this to be full of people saying that you should only use tails and tor from a faraday cage.

Pleasantly surprised.

Uh. It’s not heavily sensitive information, has a show details button, and honors user choices. Why would there be any anger?
