      Not really sure how this is “dystopian”. Could you explain? It’s a beta program specifically for data collecting.

        Everything you own, everything you use collects data. I’m tired of being profiled and analysed. Even a GPU now collects data about me, where does it stop ?

          It's a beta. They need to know how things are performing and being used so they can see things that need fixing and prioritize changes that will have the largest effect. Without data they're blind and you get worse drivers. Just don't sign up for the beta if you don't want to participate in beta testing. It's easy.

    These are BETA DRIVERS. The point of beta releases is data collection.

    You can also simply opt out if you want.

    Mountain out of a mole hill.

    1. Don't install beta products if you don't want to partake in said beta.

    2. Read what you're agreeing to and opt out of the data collection if you don't want to have your data collected.

      Saw a lot of posts on this topic, but this is the first time I am learning the drivers in question are Beta drivers.
