Example Snooper Settings Page
Snooper is a feature Mojang is using to collect data on users, either by the Client or by the Server. This feature was removed in 1.13 globally because of the European Union's General Data Protection Regulations[1] But re-added in 21w38a. The reason for including the collection was to know "where the biggest problems where" in the game.
