While it should have been opt-in it is not that dramatic. The server owner can see what is played anyways. And since the primary use case is a home and friends setup it is vastly different to a Netflix scale privacy break.

Yes, a server owner can see what is played. But this is sending email summaries about what I am watching on my own server. Even if that friend is not invited to my particular server, and even libraries that I haven't shared with anyone.

It doesn't even matter if I'm embarrassed by what it sends. That information is private. Period.

Are you saying that this information isn't collected by Plex for a use case that doesn't obviously require it? Because if it is the case, then it's a big fucking deal.
