[Malcolm Davenport (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-28176?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=245524#comment-245524 ] 

Malcolm Davenport commented on ASTERISK-28176:
----------------------------------------------

In the times of the legal system as it presently exists in the United States, it is not an avoidable problem.  It's there on purpose, and part of our offering Opus for Asterisk means that it must remain on.  If you are unable to use it due to your own concerns, you are free not to.

> I'm not quite sure if it's true, but in the README from Asterisk 
> (http://downloads.digium.com/pub/telephony/codec_opus/asterisk-13.0/x86-64/README) states that the Opus codec always sends anonymous usage data to an Asterisk community server.
> In the times of the European data protection regulation this is an avoidable problem.
> Therefore, the usage tracking should at least be switchable off.
