Here is one fork where they removed telemetry. But there are no mac builds yet: https://github.com/cookiengineer/audacity
As one of their first moves after the above video was published, with no public discussion beforehand, they opened this pull request on GitHub to add code to Audacity to track usage. In addition to all the privacy concerns, the code had serious technical problems. It was written by some coder that Muse Group just hired who has no history of contribution to Audacity, but was reviewed by old Audacity developers.
This CLA would allow them to reuse code from Audacity in proprietary programs. This is exactly what they have done with MuseScore, using code from MuseScore in proprietary iOS and Android applications designed to get people to sign up to subscriptions to MuseScore.com. Speaking of MuseScore.com, they are likely illegally profiting from Creative Commons Noncommercial licensed music and sending revenue from this to unrelated copyright cartels. When confronted about this, they have dismissed it by saying they just don't care: https://github.com/Xmader/musescore-downloader/issues/5
