It's so weird to me that after all the horrifying shit they've done, people *still* default to trusting big tech companies.

Stop that! Resist everything they propose! They don't deserve your trust outright. Make them earn it. if Google wants you to trust that they'll be good stewards of the data they collect from golang, they can start by being good stewards of literally any other data they collect about people (which they're not). They can, oh I don't know, stop doing things like collecting location data even when you literally click a switch labelled "don't collect location data".

But more than that, resist letting them cross more and more lines of intrusiveness. Instrumenting build tools with telemetry that gets sent to external servers while you work crosses a line. Other build tools don't do that.

Why are you so quick to cede that ground? You really want to have *yet another* aspect of your life be a site where you can be spied on? Because you best believe that once the line is crossed and people get used to this, the data collection will increase in scope. You want to be part of letting that happen?
