Google collects metadata from Android phones
Are people really surprised about this anymore? I can't say that I am. Google is a company which makes a lot of money off of their platforms. I expect them to be collecting data wherever and whenever they can. I see stories like this every day but I've become accustomed to it because it's such a normal practice nowadays, especially from a company like google which provides so many advertising services. I'm not saying this is a good thing, absolutely not. I'm just saying that I've come to expect this kind of thing in the current day and age.
