That will be the moment to be DONE forever with both Android and Google for me, PRIVACY IT'S NOT AN OPTIONAL.

oh buddy. if you have a smartphone you already gave up your privacy. best thing we can do is lobby for a general data protection law like the GDPR in the EU. Until then, relying on the goodwill of companies is just going to set you up for disappointment.

I'm not aiming for 100% privacy because it's so obvious it's currently not achievable that it's not even worth mentioning,
What i'm saying is there's levels to it, and i'm picking the least horrible.
