I give up… Privacy is a fool’s game and it’s a losing one at that. We are slowly entering a world where more and more requirements are made on people to own a regular non-hipster cell phone. There are places you can’t even buy parking or look at a restaurant menu without having a proper cell phone.
Maybe the answer is not to flash some obscure on life support operating system on your Google pixel but rather… maybe the answer is to work within the system and simply adjust privacy controls as allotted?
I get the feeling. My wife and I keep wondering how long we can refuse to use smartphones. I like polluting the data pool. There is a developer app to set a faux location for the phone. anything I can do to send wrong data is a bigger thing to me than not sending the data.
