S/he brings up a useful point of understanding the ToS. What if the next iOS and Android require my location be constantly shared with third parties? I would lose privacy or have to go without a smartphone which is freakishly hard in today's modern world.

Obviously that's a hypothetical but I appreciate anyone who pushes back on digital rights given how deep we are in the civic/digital rights gray zone.

Totally off-topic but sometimes I find it unnerving how hard it is to spend a week without any type of mobile device. People look at you like you're insane.

Just like saying you don't own a tv in the 90'. It's weird at first but a fantastic social filter. Saves you so much time to bond with the proper people, the ones that are ok with people different from them.

Or run Replicant or similar, which would assuredly continue to offer the option of preserving your privacy. (It's somewhat less convenient, and limits your selection of devices, but it's an option.)
