GDPR is not only about where the data goes, it's also about asking for the user explicit consent for their data collection [0], this is what I was referring to. Not the telemetry collection. I just thought it worked for other stuff than cookies.

I think that's a good point. Companies are likely going to try to neutralize this by saying that telemetry just being another kind of data that they can make safe by removing PII etc.

Probably so, even though that argument is absurd.
