    These are BETA DRIVERS. The point of beta releases is data collection.

    You can also simply opt out if you want.

    Mountain out of a mole hill.

    1. Don’t install beta products if you don’t want to partake in said beta.

    2. Read what you’re agreeing to and opt out of the data collection if you don’t want to have your data collected.

      Saw a lot of posts on this topic, but this is the first time I am learning the drivers in question are Beta drivers.

        Yeah because it’s harder to bitch and moan about data collection when you’re opting in to a program that is literally for data collection.

    There might be some bias involved based on the third paragraph:

    The good news is that users can opt out of this data collection by deselecting it during the installation process. However, the process isn’t too straightforward either unlike AMD, which explicitly asks the user whether they want to opt out of data collection. Nvidia, however, enables and installs its Telemetry components by default and users are unable to opt out of it.

      Uh by stating how it is during installation of beta drivers from the competition is bias?

      How is it biased to point out whether you can disable telemetry and how simple it is to do so?
