BEWARE! Audacity Is Now Spyware. Time To Fork?
Channel: DistroTube
Date: 2021-07-05

Since Audacity was purchased by MuseGroup, they have been making some very questionable decisions with their software.  The most serious things have been the introduction of data collection (including IP addresses) and the fact that they now prohibit children from using their software.
