Stupid question, why is your phone not degoogled yet, and why are using ad-based apps on it?
As the article mentions, at least in some jurisdictions, that's all at least partially legal by the users using these apps.
(Those won't fly probably in places that have limits on ToS being surprising, etc)
It's a bit like complaining that the party of face munching leopards is feasting on your faces after YOU ELECTED them to office. What did you expect? Them respecting your privacy?
