Just in case you're in the know:

I was really really close to trying to spin up something at work using the Max Engine. However, I see that it collects telemetry [1], and we can't really allow that. Do you know if there are plans to be able to turn this entirely off at some point?

It's nice to know if I should keep it on my radar, or if I can't consider it without changing jobs :)

Please reach out to us to talk through it, I'm sure there's a way to work it out.

There’s nothing bad about telemetry per se. In fact it should be considered bad to not be paying attention to how anything you build works in the real world.

(Then comes Meta c.s. and everyone rightly distrusts anything reported back from their computer)

This just to say, that yes, the majority of companies cannot be trusted, but there’s still good guys out there collecting useful metrics completely devoid of secondary malicious purposes.

Intentions be damned. Some industries take IP/security very seriously (eg regulated medical). Tools which phone home “for my user experience” are a complete deal breaker.
