Go automatically downloads a newer toolchain if needed
It seems like that will change in the (near) future according to the following github issue[0]. A quote from one of the developers, rami3l, in that thread[1]:
> My current plan is indeed to remove implicit installations entirely.

Telemetry really goes into Go toolchain, no matter what
As long as he doesn't put hidden folders in your root like rust. https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/issues/341

telemetry in the go toolchain? just say no...
I think you're being upvoted by folks who don't know better, which is a shame because you're making things up :/. The telemetry feature in rustup kept everything local and never "pinged home". And you had to enable it with a command `rustup telemetry enable`. And it just logged JSON files at the path you mentioned. By 2019, the feature was disabled (see: https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/issues/341 ) because no one worked on it and it just gathered bugs.

Go claims telemetry objectors arguing in bad faith and violating Code of Conduct
FWIW, there is a proposal to add telemetry to LLVM [0] and Rust used to have telemetry [1], both off by default. Some things in the node.js world have telemetry enabled by default, like Next.js [3].
Some people are posting here as if this as already decided -- AFIACT, that's not the case. It's not even a formal proposal yet, and the stated intent was to start a conversation around something concrete. (For context, this is standard for how I've seen the Go project approaches large topics, including for example I think there were something like ~8 very detailed generics design drafts from the core Go team over ~10 years).
It sounds like the Go team is going to take some time to look into some of the alternative approaches suggested in the feedback collected so far.
In any event, this is obviously a topic people are very passionate about, especially opt-in vs. opt-out, but I guess I would suggest not giving up hope quite yet.

Google's Go may add telemetry reporting that's on by default
Rust (Specifically Rust Up) seems to have planned to include telemetry but they paused and cancelled the decision, possibly after implementing it initially.
