>While the public has been focused on the ongoing Facebook and Cambridge Analytica scandal, Google has largely avoided public scrutiny about its data collection practices despite having the ability to collect far more personal data about consumers across a variety of touchpoints. There have been efforts to document individual practices by Google such as their efforts to circumvent controls on Safari. More recently, an investigation by the Associated Press revealed that Google continues to track location data even after a consumer has turned off the setting. While these research efforts have been important to the public policy dialogue, no research exists which looks at the breadth and depth of data collected by Google.
>In “Google Data Collection,” Professor Douglas C. Schmidt, Professor of Computer Science at Vanderbilt University, catalogs how much data Google is collecting about consumers and their most personal habits across all of its products and how that data is being tied together.
4 requests per hour 60 minutes per hour 60 / 4 = ? helped you do t he word problem, maybe you can figure it out from there

Does lineageOS remove that stuff or is it built in?
Jackson Barnes
40 requests per hour on an idle phone, 35% of which are location requests shiiiiiieeet, fuck off Jewgle
Carson Myers
Dude, what? I am a fagphone/homOS user.
The issue with Android is that it's shit and the hardware is even more shit, not their obvious data mining. You have to be an idiot to think the shit on your phone is somewhat private, unless you try very, very hard.
The point is, that motherfuckers using Google stuff shouldn't be surprised a company that literally makes money with data, would show a bigger interest in theirs. It's an obvious cost/benefit decision the user has to make. I'd say it makes sense when it comes to superior free services like their search or pictures but doesn't make too much when it comes to OS, given how Android isn't cheaper, despite you paying with your data.

Seriously, what did you expect? It's not like Google has been hiding it's data collections.
Adrian Myers
>It's not like Google has been hiding it's data collections. no mate, these are the data collecting they are showing, but there has got to be even more they are hiding. >being this naive

What about if you have microg or whats it called?

There probably is, but what about it? Are you going to use something else?

>locked bootloader >jailbreaking has been broken for some time >no file manager iOS pretty good indeed, yeah. By the virtue of not being able to alter any of these mechanisms. I refuse to believe some of the posters here aren't just visiting from /v/.
Apple probably collects just as much data, but in a more optimized fashion so that it isn't easily noticeable. Google flaunts their "nothing to hide, nothing to fear" bullshit, probably to get people to sperg out and thus reinforce Googles ideals among the public.
Asher Flores
Well?
Chase Carter
part of the Snapchat source code leaked because it was included with the app and some guy copied it using a file manager.
Henry Kelly
this is baseless garbage. there is nothing backing this dumb claim that tries to even out the espionage when the google data collection is almost ten times as much as apple.
I really need to get a phone without a locked boot loader. I hate that at&t did that to my S5.
Nathaniel Martin
>part of the Snapchat source code leaked because it was included with the app and some guy copied it using a file manager. Yeah. That's an iOS file manager... Do you even hear yourself? And forget that, it's only the beginning of iOS issues.
Jayden Adams
you said there was no iOS file manager and I said there is. what is your point now?
Thomas Hernandez
There is indeed a big discrepancy in frequency and volume. No one is disputing that. But neither of those two measurements tell you exactly what (and how much of it) is being transfered. Like I've mentioned, Google just doesn't care about being discovered, so they might not compress data, or they collect a lot more less useful data. Coordinates are a tiny amount of data as far as volume is concerned. Just because it updates less frequently doesn't mean it doesn't write to a file every minute and uploads said file every 15 minutes. The same goes for other telemetry. You don't need much data to ruin someone's life. I know about Eulalie.
Colton Torres
>But neither of those two measurements tell you exactly what (and how much of it) is being transfered. the study in OP is not from them TELLING us. it is measured by a third party.
Brayden Turner
Your shit phone won't be out until 2019 and by the time it's released, it'll be a low end phone by 2020.

>you said there was no iOS file manager and I said there is. what is your point now? Jesus fucking Christ... Let me spell out what you said: >part of the Snapchat source code leaked because it was included with the app and some guy copied it using a file manager. This isn't a file manager apo on the iOS available on the App Store. Nor is it something anyone other than security researchers close to him can get their hands on.

can confirm there's about 200-300 of similar requests per day
That slide is from early 2012. They tried persuading Apple into adding a backdoor and they were projecting that it would be ready around October 2012, hence there's no exact date for them. I don't know the exact details, but it didn't happen.
Evan Hill
Yeah I totally believe you
Asher Nelson
A lot of this is simply because Apple controls the background processes on iOS, whereas on Android anyone can make a background process that hangs around. I'd be willing to bet that a lot of that data wasn't even coming from Google owned apps.
John Taylor
Symbian was much more open than these fucking OS's
Eli Butler
I doubt they'd run a test on anything but stock systems.It would lead to some pretty inaccurate results.I ran some tests of my own back when the Samsung Note II was released. I set my Ubuntu computer up to share wireless networking and connected my Note to it and sniffed the traffic for a couple of hours.The data in OP's image seems about right. I also watched as my bookmarks from Dolphin browser were hoovered up by Google. I was naive enough to think using another non-Google browser would give me a bit of privacy, boy was I wrong.
Sebastian Nguyen
Stock systems still have a lot of non-Google apps on them. And you're assuming you know how the subsystem of Dolphin was written.
Angel King

>And you're assuming you know... Oh, absolutely. Most people back then had no clue as to how invasive the Android system can be.What I saw was enough to motivate me away from Android with GAPPS, though.
