If we let them they will do it to PC's eventually too. We have to fight for our rights. I think cell phones have normalized it for far too many people.

Win10 analytics (and forced updates) is what finally pushed me to exclusively using linux after many years of dual-booting. There are still choices thankfully (for now).

We still have gnu/linux for the time being. I went linux only many years ago and have loved every minute of it.
