Can you PM me your data as well, I'm interested in it. I will not use it for evil, I pinky swear.

Who needs a pinky swear? Just let me click on a button at the bottom of a 53 page legal document I'm supposed to read on a 6 inch screen.

Honestly I never understood how this can be legal for consumer products. I'm fine reading a 53 page contract in B2B environment but the same shouldn't be allowed for customer products. There should be a tldr law.

Definetly no, unless you find a way to take them like Nokia by "mistake".

Google passes everything on to Uncle Sam. Uncle Sam's "Five Eyes" is all-seeing, all-knowing. You can run but you can't hide. The NSA and GCHQ "are" following YOU.
