Deeply concerning that this has been in place for "the better part of a year", and that they "didn't remember" about their telemetry collection - how careless have they been with the actual data, if they don't even claim to be able to keep track of gathering it?

This is a complete destruction of their narrative from last week. They'll be sorry for being caught - again - and we'll have to be on continual lookout for this kind of thing in the future. I can't wait for the floodgates to open, once major tech companies figure out that there's not enough oversight to prevent this 100% of the time: I expect more than a few projects to be bought out similarly.
