I don't appreciate telemetry being turned by default, especially since all my Visual Studio Code telemetry settings are set to off. You should choose to either explicitly ask each user to enable telemetry (best approach), OR at the very least, default to matching global telemetry settings of VS Code. Turning telemetry on for everyone regardless of global settings, and with no warning, is an invasion of privacy and unethical.

Please disable telemetry collection immediately for anyone who has not approved it.

Please then study industry best practices and implement telemetry accordingly:

@tdworz Thanks for your suggestion, I will follow the official VS Code guidance for telemetry https://code.visualstudio.com/api/extension-guides/telemetry.
