This is a good example of what I mean - it’s a rant about telemetry that has nothing to do with the issue in question and as a result conflates a whole mess of different issues.
I am pretty well-informed about most of the data that is being generated and transmitted by my machine. This is an issue where it it totally reasonable to pressure Apple and all other companies to design for privacy as a priority and ensure that any of this data collection can be disabled. I don’t think an effective means to do that is to deliberately conflate and mislead about issues like the one under discussion.
System services bypassing VPN and firewall because they're on a vendor whitelist (that can't be modified due to OS cryptographic protections) is a) fact not rant and b) nothing to do with telemetry.
