Comment on Apple and Google deliver support for unwanted tracking alerts in iOS and Android

Google did not put it in Android. They put it in Google Services Framework. GSF is the first part you rip out to protect your privacy.

This for tracking taggers like the thing Apple has, whatever it’s called. Not data tracking

Their point is that GSF also does a lot of privacy-invasive stuff

The article isn’t talking about Apple or Google adding privacy-invasive stuff. It’s talking about protections being put in place To prevent you from being tracked by things like Apple’s Airtags

I think you’re missing the point.
The google service that is being used for the airtag alert is one of the main ones google uses to track you. Many privacy conscious individuals have disabled this service.
Now the choice is A) disable service to prevent google from spiny on you, but risk being tracked by an airtag. B) keep the service to prevent being tracked by an airtag, but also allow google to spy on you.
Its a loose-loose scenario.
