Google collects 20 times more telemetry from Android devices than Apple from iOS
" Modern cars regularly send basic data about vehicle components, their safety status and service schedules to car manufacturers, and mobile phones work in very similar ways." -Google<p>This is a beautiful quote because it is an example of one industry's bad behavior leading to another industry's bad behavior, upon which the first industry then users the second's similarity to justify themselves. Cars only started doing this because phones made it normal. It's wrong in both cases.<p>It's similar to when Apple defended it's 30% store cut by claiming it's an "industry standard"... specifically, an industry standard <i>that Apple established</i>.
