It also becomes no different than iPhone, so.. what's keeping me to android if they do this? Or hey, maybe I'll commit to de-googling. I have CoMaps, I'm planning to setup nextcloud soon... Hell, I don't even buy anything on Google play anymore since it's so shit, i have no purchases tying me to the OS. Maybe I'll buy a cheap old iPhone so I can finally use imessage with everyone that's been bitching about me and use other tech for everything else.
(I'm not going to iPhone, but the point stands)
I'm wondering why I even need a smartphone at this point. I'm tempted to go back to a flip phone.
I guess the next question is, which of those is actually better? If those collect data too, then how do we get out of this damned mess.
