It sounds like they plan on releasing the technical details in the coming days/weeks. I'm curious how its de-identified and processed.

Yeah this is what I don’t get. They already hold your most precious secrets and now you don’t trust them with a telemetry system?! Seems an odd order of concerns to me.

Telemetry, even scrubbed, can provide enough meta data to de-anonomize the user. If the goal is to reduce your threat vectors, than it's a valid concern.

Given data breeches are increasing, the less data that is collected the better.
