Muse Group's new privacy policy for Audacity has added telemetry on by
default. For more details see:

When telemetry in Audacity was discussed previously here
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2021-05/msg00246.html>
Muse Group's telemetry policy for Audacity was that the telemetry be off
by default. However Muse Group's new privacy policy introduces on by
default telemetry.
For more details see:

Guix's current package of Audacity does not have telemetry on by
default.
Muse Group is aware of the issue of telemetry on by default and it
appears that they are going to proceed with telemetry on by default in
future versions of Audacity.

Muse Group's new privacy policy for Audacity has added telemetry on by
default and an age restriction that contradicts freedom 0 and Audacity's
GPL version 2 license. For more details see:
