ATTENTION STALKERS!!!!
This morning I watched a video of a guy making a 5 drawer cabinet out of plywood on my Pixel 6 XL from my home. I skipped the last 30 seconds of the video because I got bored.
I get it that marketing doesn't bother you, but several tech companies have been found to give direct access to users' data to their employees, who used it in all sorts of creepy ways.
GPS location please.
Obviously I don't want to know it but be sure there's hundreds of Google employees that can freely access it.
Congrats, you've already made hacking your phone 10x easier by telling a potential attacker what model you use.
