I don't see the connection between Amazon, Facebook, and Netflix and free software.

Apparently everyone celebrates the stuff they put out into FOSS, whereas their agenda is hardly any different from Micro$oft.

In the case of Go quite recently, there was such outrage about opt-out telemetry that the proposal was walked back, and implemented (correctly) as opt-in instead.

Yeah, however there have been other cases where the outrage was ignored, like on how the modules story went.

Modules isn't any worse than NuGet for privacy. Neither are good, but it's hard to say the outrage was "ignored" - people bring it up constantly.

> people bring it up constantly.

Of course. Because the Go team ignored everyone and implemented it anyway.
