Calling it surveillance is misleading in most cases.

The most recent crash reporting system I worked with was little more than a stack trace without any user data recorded at all. Not even IP addresses of the report.

We didn’t care who was crashing and we didn’t collect any PII at all. It was a simple report about where in our code the crash occurred.

It was very useful for fixing bugs. No surveillance or PII involved.
