For what it's worth, we didn't remember. There was no upside to keeping it there.

Just an upside to doing it at first, was it?

I hate that we're even talking about your company and that we have to because it's a bad actor that's hurting people. Talking about what you're doing, even condemning this ratshit behavior most strongly, kind of empowers your company, and your company doesn't deserve press--even bad press. Kite deserves the equivalent of an unmarked grave.

So what's going on with the data collection? Do you still control the IP the system reports back to, or are users reporting their details to somebody else? Are you still using data arriving there?
Sure but you also put the code there in the first place. How much of your sketchy behavior is driven by VC demands?
Will there be upsides to adding it to other plugins though?
