To add to the key point about privacy, this research from Princeton is really illuminating and scary: https://freedom-to-tinker.com/2017/11/15/no-boundaries-exfil...

I might be alone on this one, but I feel the Freedom-to-Tinker report was unfair to the analytics providers. I know the folks in the industry work really hard towards privacy and security. They go out of their way to make it clear that not everything is automatically censored, and provide easy tools to limit data and visualize what is and isn't recorded. Holding PII and other sensitive data truly is a liability- nobody wants it.

Companies like Walgreens should be entirely to blame.

I really do appreciate how they author(s) in that report uncovered how those services where used in practice.
