Thing 1: the new project lead Martin (Tantacrul) has put out (a statement)[https://github.com/audacity/audacity/discussions/889] about this. The telemetry is opt-in, the data being sent is easy to see, and it appears great care has been taken to avoid dark patterns or intrusive data collection. The data was originally going to go through Google and Yandex, but they’ve revised that policy and they’re now hosting it themselves—it appears to have been an honest oversight.
