@prologic @xuu they're setting up the infrastructure and developer buy-in to stick more and more insidious garbage in there. Before you know it they'll propose "training AI" on this data or you'll find they've been doing it all along.
Always say no to more data collection. Always, no matter how good it may seem. These companies are institutionally unable to control themselves. Whether this Russ guy personally has bad intentions is irrelevant. The company and culture he's embedded in has repeatedly demonstrated they are untrustworthy. *Especially* when it comes to data like this.
Maybe I'm jumping from a mole hill to a mountain here, but if it all gets bad enough, might we see some collective community group of anti-Googlers fork Golang?
@eldersnake I don't know enough to say for sure but it wouldn't surprise me at all if that happened.
