Well I have bad news for you there too

https://ports.macports.org/statistics/faq/

I really do think that people who are concerned about telemetry should install Little Snitch and also look at each of these programs documentation. Telemetry is called out for most of them, as well as how to disable it. It’s also not inherently bad as it can be a valuable tool to improve their systems, though obviously could be abused too.



You need to actively install software to report statistics on macports. See further down the linked FAQ.


Exactly!

``` To start submitting statistics, install the mpstats port in your MacPorts installation.

sudo port install mpstats ```
