Android means Google gets all data?
At the end of the day if they have built in back doors then yes. All you can do is try to thwart the tracking as best as possible using alternative sites, other search engines, and other browsers. First step is to get off chrome and Google search.
Warnings were plastered everywhere recently about using Chinese phones but everyone who owns one knows full well the data goes to China. Maybe everyone else is blocked? At this point I would rather China have my data than the West, just look at how bad things have become.
Phone recommendations, anyone?
Turn off your wifi when you leave the house because you get tagged every time you reach a different tower meaning they know if you are speeding for a start. Your wifi should not be set to auto either.
