Golang telemetry (again) (lemmy.ml)

There are no "news", but I'm worried about this business actually. I'm in knowledge that post already exists but I'm not clear at all.

Resuming: Google is trying to add telemetry to Go's toolchain (such as .NET and Dart/Flutter). It also added the GOPROXY environment variable that uses the Google's Go proxy to... Just collect more user data?

I'm a pretty beginner Go dev, but I'd like a toolchain without these telemetry or at least some instruction of how to opt out this thing.

Sorry for repost, but I don't find enough information in any other place. :(

I searched A LOT about this information and got no information (but misinformation) about. Plus just look at this decision.

What that means? I need to do a torsocks to every single command I type? (That last is just sarcasm. Please, I'm not so paranoid (by now))
