    Arguably more stuff is going to be collected and sent to more people if it’s turned off. But it will be in a more piecemeal though likely more personally identifiable way. At least that’s what Google would definitely argue

    I genuinely don’t know if the counterfactual is worse than the actual here. Either way bad.
