Personal data is shared with Google and the carrier, that's why they need to ask for consent to enable the feature.

Here's the consent popup: https://imgur.com/a/PIqcDgR

The design of such consent popups has been deemed illegal in the EU, Google was also previously fined [1] for a similar consent popup. The "REJECT" button needs to be just as accessible and needs to have about the same visual weight as the "ACCEPT" button, dark patterns like the ones you see in the RCS consent popup above are illegal.
