They should simply allow for people to pick their default at installation. (so at download)
Even better if the go tool were to have a `go update` with a `telemetry-off` flag or something. (and possibly a prompt to remind people otherwise they will complain again)
`telemetry-on` flag. Sending data to third parties should _never_ be implicit or the default. Every PM, marketer, and mid-level manager needs to be firmly reminded that this is grossly invasive, user-hostile, impolite, and creepy.
Without an explicit agreement, it could even run afoul of wiretapping laws (unresolved in courts, as far as I’m aware).
I still think it depends on the telemetry itself. Companies knowing my location at all times? Disgusting and creepy. Company knowing I ran `go help` 200x as opposed to running `go build` 10x is fine imho.

Problem solved.
