    But we subsidised the cost of your phone so we could make sweet sweet recurring revenue off your usage habits and targeted advertising!

    You wouldn’t want to take that away from us would you? Won’t SOMEBODY think of the shareholders?!

      I’m getting really sick of products being only available subsidized by a level of invasiveness that should be illegal.

      The government should need an individualized warrant to purchase my data. And honestly Google should need one to collect it

      I realise you’re being facetious, but if anything Google made my phone more expensive with the certification process.
