Wrong.
They sell your data to advertisers....
.... so said the owner of a Google's phone.
Google was proven guilty several times....
They are.
Got a tip for us?

Assuming this is true and ignoring what this data actually is, why would these buyers buy this data from Google when they can just copy/paste the data from their advertiser friend?
Android User here. You should of used the 6p and instead of the priv choose another flagship as BlackBerry is dead. Maybe the OnePlus 2 if you can get an invite. I've owned IOS devices before but switched to Android for the freedom to do whatever I want for example custom roms, sound mods, changing the CPU governor etc... However Android because of this is not as stable or as simple as IOS. I'm using an HTC One M8 and I've owned a Itouch 5 and tried out the IPhone 5, IPhone 6+ and IPhone 6s+. I've also tried windows phone. The way I look at it they all have there place and are for different types of people. No reason to Hate.
Not sure what they are teaching in Italy these days, but every tech company, Apple included, uses data mining to improve its experience. The difference is, Google is good at improving your experience, whereas Apple still thinks iCloud mail is a viable service. So you are actually having your data mined and you're getting a worse experience for it.
Do us all a favor, take your Alex Jones nonsense back over to the iPhone forum and let us discuss what we please about our superior experience.
Obviously it was a crop to highlight the problem.

Yes, I would have tried the Note 5 but thanks to Samsung's erratic policy its not available in Germany. I
agree the Edge does look nice, especially the gold one, however they decided to only sell the 32GB version
over here (whereas you can get the 64GB in titanium silver). Not sure what they were thinking. Camera
is really impressive too.

You're not addressing me, but not sure why this was moved to the Android forum, it wasn't meant as flamebait.

And you have proof for this false remark?
And when would this have happened?
Proof of this?

Ok your cropped pic just proved you aren't that great at taking photos or just want to prove a point. I've seen tons of awesome pics from 6P and 5X so your one example that you could easily take a bad picture on purpose proves nothing.
Nice supporting evidence you got there.
It is in googles best interest to protect the data they collect. At least that is the better long term strategy surely.
If Google was so evil I would think that scroogled campaign would be working and still around.

Right it wasn't supposed to be flame bait is was supposed to be a circle jerk.
Yes the point I was making is that camera is an unreliable POS, and the awful image stabilization in videos supports my assesment.

No, it was meant as a warning for people that get pisses off at Apple regularly and who contemplate ditching Apple in favour of Android that the grass isn't always greener on the other side, hence my posting this in the iPhone forum. If you're happy using inferior crap, good for you.
So let me get this right. The bad image stabilization in VIDEOS proves your point that the camera takes horrible PHOTOS? And your best example is a tight crop of a bad picture in general taken in bad photo taking conditions (Snow).
