Australian regulator investigates Google data harvesting from Android phones
Here's a the same story via the Guardian: <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/may/14/australian-regulator-investigates-google-data-harvesting-from-android-phones" rel="nofollow">https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/may/14/australia...</a><p>A quote contained within both stories:
>  The software company Oracle revealed Google could be harvesting a gigabyte of data from Android devices each month<p>Given that my data plan is 1.5 GB/month, I would notice if a gigabyte magically disappeared every month (it doesn't). Hopefully the ACCC has enough skepticism and technical knowledge to see through Oracle's FUD. OTOH what's in it for Oracle here? Purely trying to damage Google's brand? I suppose the media have run with it and it's working.
