I already don't like that they keep chatlogs on the servers without us having a choice (besides not using SL at all or using external means to chat), I'm not 100% sure I could trust them to not include more than one would expect once this permission is given, though perhaps if a big enough amount of the respected open source community revised all the code involved in gathering the data on the client side and approved it perhaps I might consider providing consent for them to track my mouse, clicks, button presses and a few other things
