As I noted on reddit, I am not surprised by this at all. Google's entire incentive to maintain Android is the troves of data they collect about users. Why would they let you turn it off? It doesn't make any sense. If you're surprised as a user, you've been really naïve.
Imagine this: would apple ever let you not pay for a new iPhone? Its entire incentive in making iphones is to sell them for money. So it will never allow you to get phones for free.
- cisanti 9y agoGoogle is an immoral and sick company, if you work for the gestspo machine you should be ashamed of yourself no excuses.
- blub 9y agoI agree with you about Google, but it's more than fine for the people to be surprised and/or outraged. That's how this gets fixed... Google said they're taking steps to fix it. Surely they wouldn't lie to us.
