I'm getting strong support on this: very basic, server side data, which has NOTHING to do with the user (e.g. no IP) can be analyzed (not stored!)

Yes, corporations abused data collection, but this trauma taught us the wrong lesson: analysis is not evil, abusing data collection is. But people continue to have knee jerk reactions to this, creating strawmen that don't exist.

FOSS can be open and transparent. We can prove that trust. Let's *want* to find good, safe, transparent ways to do this.
