    getting privacy features,

    What privacy features? And did you know many skins offer fake information? For example OPPO and Vivo. Provides fake IMEI and tracking information to the app instead of blocking access.

    It poisons the well enough that tracking data in China is basically useless.

      You realize that is only a subset of data that apps have access to right? And the app permissions you grant on Android have always had an issue of being overly vague, way too broad, and never making clear just how far reaching the data it gathers goes?

      I find it ridiculous that anyone can trust Google to make it harder to track users of their software and devices. They’re an ad company first and a tech company second. Their entire revenue stream is based on selling your eyeballs to advertisers. Everything from Android to the Play store is about selling you to other companies, not selling you a product.
