Don't send tracking analytics without explicit opt-in

I recently updated mongosh to 1.7.1 via Homebrew. Little Snitch informs me that the program is reaching out to api.segment.io asynchronously. For privacy reasons, I do not want programs to do that, and such analytics without explicit opt-in may be illegal in the entire EU per the GDPR. Please remove the analytics/tracking feature or make it configurable only as an opt-in feature.

    Hi There; thank you for raising this request. We care deeply about user privacy and go to great efforts to be clear about what our products do and how they act. Please review the page linked below [1] that describes exactly what telemetry is and is not collected. The page also includes instructions on how to disable telemetry.
