> What I really think is that allowing apps carte blanche access to the Internet is just not tenable in 2023. It's a bit analogous to the old MS-DOS days when apps had open unprotected access to all RAM. Outgoing connectivity should be whitelisted.
This is a good idea. Users may not actually enforce it, though. I think most people would rather give all apps the permissions they ask for than quit using whatever program they're used to in favor of another one that doesn't send telemetry. Most people don't seem to care that much.
