We made a GlassWire Instagram (by Facebook) account that had a few screenshots and videos of our Android app. The account was deleted soon after.
We never followed anyone besides those that followed us, and we hardly used the account. Very weird!
People who don’t understand how telemetry works and what it is.
Microsoft collects anonymous telemetry, as they have done for many years, on many different versions of Windows.
Microsoft is against spying, and has stated this to a Trump advisor when questioned about why they will not.
If you need to be paranoid about anything spying on you, it’s Facebook (use Firefox with Facebook Container if you must use Facebook) and Google. Google after all has health data on millions of Americans without permission and is under fire for it.
