…and there’s the purity test downvote. It is completely unrealistic to expect people to exist without one of the big vendors. I have no Google apps on my phone; also, no Meta products either. I use tracking blockers and a pi-hole at home. The only company gathering data on me is Apple, and it’s in their best interest not to sell it considering their whole “privacy” stance. Not that it means much, but it’s sure as fuck better than Google.
