I had the latest version, but after seeing this thread, I deleted version 3.0 and downloaded version 2.0.
I'm pretty sure it's too late for me now, since I had v3.0 for a few weeks, maybe 3 or 2
is version 2.0 going to keep me safe or is it too late for me?.
This thread was a year old; it may be worth looking up more information about it to see if this is still the current state of affairs for Audacity. Some research is in order.
Just use darkaudacity, It has pratically the same features as audacity and way more pleasing to look at... It's also open-source so hopefully there isn't any data-collection whatcha-ma-call-its
The reason why you won't get a "straight answer" is because no one can answer that authoritatively and definitively.
The answer is "we don't know." I hope that's good enough for you because that's the best you're going to get. It's all speculation at this point, and it will be until we get all the facts (if that even ever happens). It also is all down to opinion, too, like what data do you know is being sent, and are you comfortable sending it? Some people are perfectly okay with it.
Please do not demand "straight answers" to issues that are still so highly subjective. (Or demand anything at all for that matter, this isn't the place for that)
There IS, however, one thing we *can* tell you - and that is a lot of people feel safe enough to continue to use Audacity and do continue to do so. But keep in mind a lot of people complaining about this issue (or are continuing to use Audacity) are the same ones who use Windows, Facebook, Twitter, Google, and ... well I think you catch my drift.
