I don't think Google Analytics honors Do Not Track. That
wrapper you posted would be necessary to avoid tracking
users with DNT enabled.

Since Hello presents itself as a privacy-conscious app,
I think it should be extra careful about sending data
to third parties. On the Hello marketing page, it says:

> Because Hello is built right into Firefox, you can
> rest easy knowing that your conversations and
> information will remain private and secure.

It seems odd to allow the part that *isn't* built into
Firefox to send information to Google, like there are
two different standards of privacy based on if you start
the call and if you receive it. When someone starts a
conversation using Hello, they probably weren't expecting
the other person to have any information sent to a third
party, especially if that person has DNT enabled.

Adding something on the interface to disable Analytics
seems awkward to me -- after all, that's what DNT is for.
