Removing anything Google related from smartphone,possible?
Discussion
Was merrily browsing the internet (using Google Chrome)when suddenly i was literally stopped in my tracks by a data protection agreement i had to agree to.
First off it pissed me off due to the nature of how this happened,it was agree or it just wouldn't let me continue my browsing!!
This data protection pop up that covered my screen began with stating,"To be consistent with data protection laws......",then went on to basically state that they wanted me to agree to use all my data and to do basically whatever they wanted to do with it?How is that ,"data protection?".
Seeing this in black and white and getting it firced down my neck really irked me and as far as i can,i want nothing more to do with Google whatsoever!,but when you try to remove anything Google from a smartphone you're told the world's going to end and your phone will go haywire!!Is there any truth to this?(not the world ending bit)
Same with every little innocuous app you download wants access to your photos,files,personal data etc,etc..Why?Do we all just stick our pert little bottoms in the air and say hey,take it all!!
I've even stopped downloading apps altogether!!Does anyone else feel like this?and breath......

It's an LG g3,im not new to smartphones and i do get your point that you think its all too complicated for me and go back to old Nokia bricks etc.
I can't understand why technology and giving up everything about yourself has to go hand in hand?Its the only downside to smartphones for me,i hate it!;-)
I really don't get how Google phrase this agreement thing,they mention data protection,then they 'want' all your data and where can all that potentially end up??

Interesting thread, I have to ask though, what are you so concerned about? I don't understand why people get so het up about this stuff
I don't know,there's something just jarrs me when i download an app to say,i don't know?to bake a fairy cake and it wants access to my music,files,videos,personal data,location......it really gets on my goat!!why is it just me?why!!! ;-)Just thought for the hell of it i'd try to remove google services(which i know i can't)and was quite interested to note that amonhst the longlong list of things google snoops on in your phone are your text messages!!!Honestly,what???Thinknabout that the next time you text your lobed one,that's unbelievable!!÷
I wish people would just take two m8nutes to really look into whats going on with their phone,we just never think about it!!Reading text messages?I thought that was only done by the police during an investigation after you'd murdered someone lol.
But as i seem to be the only one worrying about this you can rest easy now im worrying for you all!! ;-)
