Can the transparencyd daemon traffic be dropped without adverse effects?
Based on what the transparencyd daemon is for (explained here) I have the impression so far there is no harm in blocking that traffic. Until now, every time my firewall drew my attention onto that outbound trancparencyd traffic, I blocked it and experienced no adverse effects.
Am I missing something, or is there indeed no harm in blocking transparencyd traffic?
(I am on Catalina. Perhaps things got worse in Big Sur.)
Since the questions was asked I have systematically blocked all the transparencyd traffic, and have not experienced any adverse side effects.
