Google has always maintained what they do, and we know their an advertising company. They've always told everybody what they're doing (in million word TOSs that's only a lawyer can read) but they told you. Terrible for privacy..... But they told you.

Apple started scanning photos and messages and used the excuse that the whole planet must be pedophiles. That has a way of pissing people off way more! Gote me off iPhone and back on a DeGoogled Android!
