Audacity publishes updated Privacy Policy and an Apology

Even if you think the complaints are petty, asking users about telemetry should become the norm again. I don't care how useful it can be, if you want or require the data, you should just ask. Same is true for operating systems for that matter.

If you do not ask, you should not exfiltrate data. Asking isn't too hard, it is a manageable technical problem.

A bit unjust that Muse gets all the outrage since a lot of software is misbehaving. But I hope we get back not having every application phoning home.
