If I don't have an account, how could I have possibly have agreed to anything? Do the permissions on the phone give the app everything about me as soon as I download it?
What about situations where the phone comes preinstalled with this crap? Does the act of buying such a phone automatically mean Twitter now knows where I live and my taste in pornography?
well, I trust Alphabet Co not to "share/sell" our data just as much as the laws put in place to protect our privacy are doing a decent job... which is to say not at all of course : /
