Would it be possible when installing an os to ask the user to allow telemetry? Like it wouldnt be neither opt in or opt out. You have to choose one in order to progress. No choice selected by default.
It could also have a "more info" button clarifying what data will be collected and where you can revert that choice in the settings.
Right. This is the only right answer when it comes to a compromise between developers and users.
Default on "more info".
Quick easy fast.
