don't remember how I found this project, but searching it's name / terms for finding how to opt-out of telemetry from many apps won't lead to it/many results, thus I suggest posting this repo to relevant places, such as: https://reddit.com/r/privacy hackernews https://news.ycombinator.com/ and better post it to other places as well :)

I've tried Hacker News once, it wasn't a huge success: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21613294 Maybe Reddit will do better ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

other suggestions are: https://slashdot.org/ https://tildes.net/~tech https://voat.co/v/privacy https://www.reddit.com/r/privacytoolsIO/ https://github.com/privacytools/privacytools.io/issues for https://www.privacytools.io/ https://github.com/prism-break/prism-break for https://prism-break.org/en/all/ https://github.com/securityfirst/umbrella-content for https://secfirst.org/

when script will be available maybe some tech blog will write about it? (they have articles on disabling telemetry) https://lifehacker.com/ https://www.ghacks.net/

Well, that's an impressive list, thank you :).

when script will be available maybe some tech blog will write about it?

The scripts are here (#2), but for now they're more proof of concept then something I would actually be proud of. I'm still trying to carve out some time to flesh out cli tool, but it's nowhere near yet.
