I don't accept it on my phone either.

My Oneplus runs Lineage, and I explicitly omitted Google services.

I had previously run the MicroG rewrap of Lineage, but the maintainer dropped maintenance for six months, so I found ways to do without the GMS emulation.

Alas, your cell carrier can and probably is still tracking everywhere you go, as well as who you call / text / calls you / texts you, and sniffing your packets unless you VPN
