I'm just a regular Firefox user, albeit on who spent over 30 years in IT, including time on sensitive applications like BANKING and HEALTH CARE.
Whether kept as Opt-in or changed to Opt-out this is my feedback on maintaining privacy while monitoring product use: 1. I trust telemetry and dumps are encrypted for transmission. 2. The big thing is being very careful with "PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE" information. The combination of add-ons, computer hardware, antivirus, and other options is UNIQUE ENOUGH to qualify as personally identifiable. That information MUST be kept disconnected from lists of what sites we visit and how often we visit them. 3. Since it is not typical monitoring, I think most people would accept that when there is a dump/error/crash that there is website info. It is one thing to give a count of how many cases of syphilis there are in a city, quite another to give a count of how many cases there are in a town of 300. It is one thing to say that credit card spending is up 20%, quite another to say that Bob Smith's credit card spending is up 20%. _______________________________________________ governance mailing list governance@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
