"You decide what to share and when."

That's demonstrably false. Disabling telemetry resulted in the collection of meta-telemetry, in violation of users' explicitly expressed decision to not allow collection of telemetry.

For 1% of the users opting out of telemetry. And anonymized. And also the data not being telemetry related.

Technicaly correct, but pretending that this is mozilla going against the spirit of "decide what to share and when" is at best stretching it, and worst case willingly misrepresenting the case.

It literally went against the spirit of "decide what to share and when" if I check "never" and it does.

What a meaningless statement.
