Is any one else extremely annoyed by Google's Android privacy bullying?
I want to search something, Google Keyboard keeps track of every word I make. Sometimes I press the wrong thing and suddenly my own smartphone is recording me and sending the data over to Google.
I take some photos and Google prompts me to save them to Drive. No I don't want them uploaded to your servers. I have Google apps pre-installed and for some reason I cannot remove them. I disable them and Google Play updates them and re-enables them.
Are normal people really OK with all of this?
You don't have to be somebody important to find this extremely invasive. In two years I might be working in a lab developing solar panel tech. Do I really want to have this Android device trying to record my every movement?
It's Android 4.4.4 if anyone's wondering with an almost stock OEM install.
I'm going to put CyanogenMod on it when I have time but it really annoys me that the market is in such a state that most people don't give a crap about all this invasive tracking.
I mean, lawyers use this stuff. They are aware not to use Gmail when sensitive information needs to be communicated but are they aware of just how much data their phone collects about them?
