Untwittered link: https://pub-aea8527898604c1bbb12468b1581d95e.r2.dev/src.zip Asked claude to analyse it and find data collection patterns 😂 This was the reponse Tracking Systems Found 1. Datadog — 64 event types batched every 15s to http-intake.logs.us5.datadoghq.com with a hardcoded public API token 2. First-Party Event Logging — Rich structured events to api.anthropic.com/api/event_logging/batch with disk-backed retry (survives crashes) 3. BigQuery Metrics — OpenTelemetry counters/histograms to api.anthropic.com/api/claude_code/metrics 4. GrowthBook — Feature flags + A/B experiment assignments with user attributes sent for targeting 5. Session Tracing (Beta) — Full OpenTelemetry distributed tracing of every user interaction, LLM call, and tool execution Most Notable Findings - Persistent device ID (64-char random hex) stored in ~/.claude/config.json, sent with every event - Git repo hashing — SHA256 of your git remote URL is sent, enabling repository correlation - Email harvested from OAuth, env vars, and git config --get user.email - GitHub Actions CI metadata collected (actor, repo, owner IDs) - System profiling — installed package managers, runtimes, terminal type, OS details, CPU/memory usage - Failed telemetry persisted to disk at ~/.claude/telemetry/ and retried on next session - Message fingerprinting — chars at positions 4, 7, 20 of your first message are hashed for attribution How to Opt Out export DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1 # disables analytics export CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC=1 # nuclear option Now going to use docker to run claude. Probably should already have used it from the beginning. #claude #privacy

How true that statement is. Jonathan Bier was as usual spot on. Knots side need to understand that there is no winning the war over spam even with centralisation
