Online privacy is some how tricky to handle as things are becoming complicated but nevertheless online privacy tools like tor, vpn, password manager etc. As per the BestVPNGuru, most effected and widely use tool is VPN due to level of encryption and anonymity.

jeremiah.foster added a comment to T845: Removing the Problem Reporting section from the Privacy panel in the initial setup.

There is a certain amount of professionalism having this as a option - I believe it shows that we want to fix issues and that we're open about the issues we have. This can be empowering for users, most of whom come from closed, proprietary worlds where they never see the data that the send to nor see their issues fixed in a timely manner. At the same time, I agree with Francois that this may appear to be an invasion of privacy even if you can turn it off. The reason is that users don't know clearly what information is gathered and how. "Reports" are sent on "technical problems". I feel this is very vague and I imagine most people will turn it off, so my preference is to have this turned off by default and perhaps not part of the initial setup. If a user reports issues we can ask them to turn it on. Also, where does the collected information show up?

The wording has improved. Words such as GNU, Linux, Gnome, Plasma and distribution have been cleverly avoided, which is a good thing IMHO. A bit of redundancy is immediately obvious though.
