      Gonna share this, because I had no idea… I think the last time I updated Audacity was, like, 10 years ago…

        Doesn’t that apply to every project hosted in America, too, though? Every project is subject to the jurisdiction in which it is hosted. And I know they’re not the only project that accepts error reports and in-app updates. Unless there is more telemetry involved or tracking of out-of-app activity, I’m not seeing cause for alarm here. Though I’m open to evidence that there is.
