This is just "telemetry". We have that in all Windows (including server) for years now... nothing to worry. This is NOT surveillance. /s
BTW: Google does the same for Andorid (get your data dump and see for yourself) - every application start and stop is recorded, metadata from your e-mail, etc...;
NOT surveillance, this is to help optimize technology use. /s
I figured out a way, actually, to have SafetyNet working while Google still connecting to internet and being unable to grab any data off phone.
Good stuff, now they will be unable to optimise their terrorist AI used to bomb families in Middle East. Atleast I would not have a hand in it.
