I remember getting flamed so hard for saying that Google/android was incredibly invasive tech. I was laughed at, called an apple fanboy and accused of schilling.
Sadly, it looks like I’m the one laughing now.

They haven’t done anything with that data yet*
While clearly the lesser evil in this moment, I wouldn’t count on that lasting forever.

As every user at some points mentions: They are a public company and once they can’t satisfy their shareholders, they will turn on the data faucet to 3rd parties. They already have the an advertisement CDN.
They already have everything in place to achieve that situation.

I can’t. Everything they release is proprietary and locked down, so let’s just trust what they say.

So, they’re doing shit you can prove, but they’re doing it. Do I have that right?

No proof.
But even the US is scared of encrypted exfiltrated data because their adversaries could crack the encryption later on.
Same here.
They have the data and for now decided to not yet do do anything too bad with it.
But Google also had the motto “Don’t be evil” at one point.
