Perhaps it could have been more clear in the initial post, but Georg definitely says: "This is not the type of data we have collected as opt-out in the past and is a new approach for Mozilla." So this data collection will have an opt-out. > How will this work? Having it enabled by default without making > explicitly clear that it is happening is still morally wrong and > anti-privacy.

We have other data we collect which is opt-out, such as how the browser is performing. The idea of opt-out data collection is not really the question; the difference here is that the data is potentially more sensitive. To address that, we want to use differential privacy and RAPPOR; a good discussion to have, therefore, is whether those tools do the job or not.
