    i don’t think even google sells it outright.

    they collect it, use it to train ai. not to mention how 3-letter agencies get it too.

    selling it outright is a matter of time.

    i also absolutely do not get why apple fanboys defend them so rabidly. its just a phone like any other.

      1: Google’s entire business model includes selling your data and activity and advertise to you based on that. They have been sued for lying about this and had to settle.

      2: Yes, this is directly stated in the setup screen for devices as on by default, which you can opt-out from then or at any time.

      3: Let’s get mad at them for doing that when they actually do it.

      4: Not sure there are many “rabid” users anymore, or at least here anyway. But there’s a difference between defending a company and flat out calling bs on an bs accusation.

      I do not understand why people like making up reasons to hate on a corporation when there are so many other legitimate reasons to hate that corporation instead.
