Why ?
Because it's a privacy nightmare.
Using Google products has always been a "privacy nightmare" - it's not like this is some mega open source phone or anything it's literally Google's flagship. Is this really surprising? Playing with fire gets you burned.
Googles phones are the easiest to de-google surprisingly
And if you do, they won't upload your stuff to the cloud anymore.
But if you use Google's OS and services, you really shouldn't be surprised they upload your data to Google.
I’m not surprised at all, I’ve been trying to not use googles services for years
Wait - is that praise or criticism?
both! some people want Google's features and don't care about privacy.
In what way ? Everything you do on phone Google has access to and therefore any govt body as well.
Privacy on a phone is a myth unless you use a modded phone
Even ignoring all the privacy issues with that, it's kinda shit to unnecessarily lose phone features when you've got no signal
That's how phones have always worked. As long as they are not automatically ingesting data from people without permission. I don't see an issue with this. At least in this instance we have some choice in what we send or don't. It's no more privacy nightmare than mid-Journey doll-e or any of the others.
