I'm sorry, but all of this is just theater.

It's very nice theater, with stylish fonts and a fresh new look, but theater nonetheless.

Apple should let you run a true firewall.

They will never do it. The barn door has been open too many years. (and they get too much out of telemetry to willfully give it up)

Apple isn't an advertising company...why do they care about telemetry?

Their whole company is wired into it.

I've had friends who work there that push out a release and then get 1000 notifications that something broke so they pull it back.

I would just like it all to be voluntary, even talking to apple in the first place.
