Stock Googled Android stores multiple cookies and identifiers in the OS (outside the browser) even when no #bigtech apps have ever been opened. No consent is sought for storing any of this data and there is no opt out, in violation of privacy regulations:

To #degoogle it is not enough to simply disable all of the #google software, one must use a fully degoogled OS, like iodéOS.

Well, this aged badly 🙂 (our old prices, that is!)

Tip of the hat to @iode for providing the foundation for a truly open #degoogle lifestyle where ads, trackers, and spam calls are kicked to the curb!

Once again, Google violates user trust, by nonconsentually adding 4GB of processor-hungry AI to their web browser: https://www.thatprivacyguy.com/blog/chrome-silent-nano-install/
Aside from the privacy concerns, the consequences for sustainability are significant: processors put under this kind of strain hurt performance, use up energy, and reduce the life of batteries and devices.
Happily, there are great alternatives to big tech that you CAN trust:

Google Chrome is downloading a 4 GB Gemini Nano model onto users' machines without consent, with no opt-in, no opt-out short of enterprise tooling, and an automatic re-download every time the user deletes it. The pattern is identical to the Anthropic Claude Desktop case I wrote about last month, but the scale is between two and three orders of magnitude larger. This article does the legal analysis and, for the first time, the environmental analysis. The numbers are not small.

What we learned in #Minnesota the past several months is that the "easiest path of access" by **certain groups that are very "cold" sounding** looking to track you down regardless of your rights is from the "Big Tech connected phone" right in your pocket.
Sadly we aren't alone.
The time is past due for a move away from Big Tech and a move to #iodéOS from @iode!
How to #degoogle should be taught in schools.
Am I right or am I right?
