I would prefer if you don't quote me for obvious reasons - i am speculating. I have left google about 1 year ago, so don't have any magical knowledge besides general workings.

I really think google is trying to be more good than bad in these matters, knowing how the sausage is made. but again, that's my probably biased view.

ah ok, i never cited the thought as anything other than speculation, but I'll still unquote you in my article.

Interesting thing is that the data they collect on iOS is probably not less on Android, because they are more likely to remove collection to hide bad practices. This makes the iOS privacy labels the minimum data they collect on Android.
