    Yeah this is truly insane. This will never be on my phone. It also helps that Europe thinks this is bullshit as well and it’s not available here.

      You can request we delete your data and maybe we will lie and say we did when we didn’t actually and maybe we will just tell you to fuck off in nice corporate language but either way you can rest safely knowing we won’t delete your data and will probably let it be stolen by black market hackers
