The format police are here, dictating to others what avenues they can publish in. The video was useful and informative.

Or, you could do that. Why shouldn't that be done again?

Probably because the only reason why you would do that is to bait Clicks and confuse non-tech people? Nobody would care to make news out of it if all you said was "windows is basically doing the same thing google does, or any of the most popular websites for that matter"

Popular websites don't get to co-opt my computing device before I am able to establish policies about what behaviour I find acceptable.

Google doesn't run my computer.

I honestly don’t believe that an OS should go poking around the internet at all without doing something I specifically told it to.

I’m currently upset with fedora because I can’t figure out how to turn off the automatic update feature, honestly I haven’t tried too hard, and all that is doing is connecting to servers that I would do anyways just on my own timeframe.

If it started sending out every detail of my computing sessions, like TFA is claiming and you are defending, it would be off my computer as fast as I could download another distribution.

I deal with google’s shenanigans with using chrome but that’s my choice, I downloaded the repo data, approved the signing keys and installed it manually.
