Golang telemetry (again) (lemmy.ml)

submitted 10 months ago by RuikkaaPrus@lemmy.ml to c/privacy@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. :(

That's a pretty good explanation about. Care if you reply the source of your information? I'd wanna keep it as reference <3

Thank you!

I don't really have a source. It is just me thinking logically about the system and many offhand comments I have read over time. Other than the privacy policy which I have linked.

I don't know what you mean by "the source of this concept".
