Telemetry. The new(ish) popular term for phone-home spyware.
There are lots of reasons it's unethical and unsound research, which I've talked about before, but I realized there's something I want to say about the term itself and how it's harmful.

@dalias@hachyderm.io I despise sneaky telemetry. But Is there ever a good / acceptable use? I remember adding Dr Watson telemetry to Windows decades ago helped find and fix untold Windows (and third party) bugs. Thanks.
