Detailed Description

See above. Furthermore, a dark pattern is present that exists to confuse the user into accidentally leaving it on. After entering an explicit command "telemetry disable", it then prompts for confirmation with confusing wording "do you want to disable yes/no", with the default option being "no", so if the user hits enter they will not disable (a double negative) and countermand their explicit instruction to "telemetry disable".

The default out of the box should be SURVEILLANCE OFF. If the user wants to transmit their data, ask them, and allow them to opt in. If the user enters the "telemetry disable" command, don't prompt them any further, and certainly don't make the default answer to that prompt to "ignore the user's command and keep sending telemetry".

Possible Implementation

Just remove all of the surveillance features from the app. They have no place in a client for end to end encrypted commuications.
