Apple wont give gyro data but firefox will, firefox wont give battery data but chrome will. Everyone gives screen size and density data.

They're actually being discussed, but more by experts with other experts, in groups of researchers, etc.

The general privacy advocate often times lacks the deep technical understanding.

I lack all sorts of understanding. I want it all to work perfect and be private, I am the illiterate consumer.
