Comment (by NathanAtmoz):

 WordPress users should be explicitly told that their data is being
 collected, why it's being collected, and offered a simple way to opt out
 of having their data collected.

 Users should not have to hack core or rely on a third-party plugin so that
 they aren't being tracked.
