It's wild that an operating system needs to be "researched" like that. In an ideal world it would be Google's job to explain it to us. End user documentation.
Honestly I see nothing new here: as soon as you switch the device on it sends data to the big G. This has been the case for decades. Once you set up your Google account the limit is set by the TOS - and not even the one you "signed" when you first opened it, no, the current one.
Fuck this shit, people should just scale back their expectations a few years and go for perfectly functional alternate operating systems.
