Meh.
I'm reasonably happy to sacrifice some of my privacy in order to be granted access to services such as Gmail (which is absolutely spectacular for a 'free' email provider). And let's be honest, the reason Google is so fucking good is almost exclusively down to users volunteering their data.
If people aren't happy with that, then fair play. But I can't help feeling that many of them are cutting off their nose to spite their face if they're genuinely freezing Alphabet Inc. out of their online presence. I'd imagine it would make most Android based phones practically useless ‐ what's the alternative if you require a smartphone? Apple?!
