Maybe you let YOUR device report back with location information. Maybe you never leave home without your phone.

Maybe you attach an authentic identity to YOUR phone.

Maybe some multinational corporation has insight into all of YOUR habits.

With luck, I've substantially limited the attack surface of my information, not by trusting the oh-so-helpful, feel-good, animated, haptic touch-screen toggles sprinkled here and there, but rather by NOT implicitly trusting any of the devices released in the past ten years to do anything my way, ever. Even when rooted.

Calm down dude. You're still not forced to use any such service.
