For a while in the past Minecraft collected snooper data, this data was available for the public on stats.minecraft.net
Telemetry systems are always somewhat controversial but it was justified because of mojangs dedication to be transparant aswell as an option to completly disable it.
This feature was removed at some point when it was not in line with new european privacy laws.
But now in snapshot 12w38a Telemetry has made a comeback, the changelog did a good job in being transparant, informing us of what data is being snooped on. But their is no word on a new dedicated website to make this user data available to the users it was gathered from.
My suggestion is for Mojang to honor the goodwill off their past and bring back this website.
