Google Pay doesn’t respect your privacy anyway, as the terms state that Google can use your transaction data to profile you.
- kevin_thibedeau 4y agoYou realize that all electronic payments are used to profile you.
- Tijdreiziger 4y agoEven if that’s true, why would you add another party (i.e. Google) to that chain?
- kevin_thibedeau 4y agoWhile pervasive tracking is insidious, Google is the least problematic actor since they don't sell their data.
- alfiedotwtf 4y ago> Google is the least problematic actor since they don't sell their data. Isn't that like 99% of their revenue i.e selling user data?!
- kelnos 4y agoThe answer to "I can't do X because I use Y and Z" is not "You're wrong to want to use Y and Z". Understand that not everyone prioritizes the same things you do. Regardless, Google already has enough information on me to profile me quite well; avoiding Google Pay will not meaningfully change that, and I get enough value out of it that the trade off is worth it to me, at least for now.
- Tijdreiziger 4y agoOf course everyone is free to have their own priorities when it comes to privacy. However, for people who want to use Google Pay despite the privacy implications, I'm not sure running a privacy-preserving Android distribution is even meaningful. At that point, why not just run stock Google Android?
