Mozilla bought the excellent Android email app K-9 (which didn’t include any trackers) and integrated trackers as part of #Mozilla‘s rebranding under the #Thunderbird name.
They even made it opt-out instead of opt-in. Their defense for breaking the law: ”we wouldn’t have enough data if we obeyed the law.“
It doesn’t matter whether you ”anonymized“ the data or not: If you want to extract data from someone’s device to yours, you may do so only if they knowingly consented.

  Gibt sogar ein GitHub-Issue dazu. Money quote: »Unfortunately we cannot make this type of data collection opt-in because the limited data from voluntary reports wouldn’t provide enough insights to make informed product decisions. Opt-in data would come from a small, biased subset, leading to flawed conclusions.« Datenschutz und Einwilligungen sind grundlegende Rechte der Nutzer, die respektiert werden müssen, selbst wenn dies die Datenerhebung erschwert. https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-android/issues/8199
