Is GA 'spying on users'? If so.. you should never go anywhere in public, never go shopping at a grocery store, etc. They all record everything that happens and analyze it to get similar amounts of data. Your bank tracks you way more (and sells all your data!).

In the US they might. It's not true everywhere.

Sorry but that's completely off topic.. I never said that.

And yes, I'm aware of all of those.
