While designed= to measure ad performance without compromising user privacy, concerns have been raised about its potential implications and the manner of its rollout. I propose disabling the PPA feature by default, aligning with actions taken= by Debian and recommendations from privacy advocates. By doing so, we aim to prioritize user privacy and control, ensuring users are not automatically o= pted into features that may have privacy implications. Justification: 1. User Consent: The feature is enabled by default without explicit user consent, which has raised concerns within the privacy community=E2=80=8B (P= rivacy Guides)=E2=80=8B=E2=80=8B (Privacy Guides)=E2=80=8B. 2. Transparency Issues: Mozilla's rollout of PPA lacked sufficient communication and transparency, reminiscent of past issues where user trust= was compromised=E2=80=8B (Mozilla Connect)=E2=80=8B=E2=80=8B (all InfoSec News)= =E2=80=8B. 3. Precedent: Debian has already disabled this feature by default, setting a precedent for other distributions to follow suit in prioritizing user priva= cy=E2=80=8B (Privacy Guides)=E2=80=8B.
