Google Fi "opted you in" to data selling - You can opt out of CPNI (fi.google.com)

Received an email from Google Fi that their policy is to "opt you in" to sell your phone-call and purchase info to advertisers. They call the data your CPNI — "Customer Proprietary Network Information". Making this an opt-out when it's a combo of your shopping data plus phone-call data (including destination and location) plus Google identity seems pretty egregious to me.

Anyway, the emailed notice is easy to overlook as just another policy update that you wouldn't do anything about. But you can opt out.

At https://fi.google.com/account, go to "Privacy & security", and deselect "Allow CPNI sharing". It's not in the Fi app; you have to do it in a browser.

Nobody's discussing Googles EU operations, clearly they can enforce any shit they want within their own borders. The discussion is Google Fi, which is US only. I'm also in VA, and assuming like you, do a lot of work connected to gov't, and sorry, but compliance certs being required by your job are relevant to a foreign govt trying to enforce their regulations outside of their borders to a service thats not even available to their citizens is relevant how exactly?
