Used for telemetry in LineageOS, here's a source from a privacy & security expert confirming this is the case.

Thank you for supporting 1Hosts.

It’s people like you who make these lists great! ❤

Danke, it's added to My Privacy DNS project like your other contributions

I don't think this is necessary, as the telemetry performed on this domain can be disabled entirely in LineageOS settings.

@programminghoch10

Allowing tracking is and shall always be a opt-in not a opt-out and as long it stays a opt-out, it will remain in my lists for privacy and it is violating humans rights to freedom

@programminghoch10 I was basing this off of the blocking logic 1Hosts is already using, (ex. we're already blocking Firefox & Brave telemetry, both can also be disabled).

But yes, I 100% agree with @spirillen as well, I don't think telemetry should ever be on by default, a lot of unsuspecting users will just leave it on without knowing or understanding what it actually is/is doing.

If you're comfortable providing Lineage with this telemetry, I think you should just make a personal whitelist entry (Forcing you to make an active choice to enable this telemetry) instead of leaving it unblocked for the masses.

I can see in the history (git blame)

That the blacklist record is backed up by https://www.kuketz-blog.de/lineageos-weder-sicher-noch-datenschutzfreundlich-custom-roms-teil4/
