Google photos on ios is literally a hostage situation. Remove key functionalities like copying an image or editing an image unless you give them full unrestricted access to your entire photo library. (The holy grail of surveillance capitalism data). Data extortion masquerading as a service.

Roku's on my eternal blacklist after something... I think it was forcing users to accept data harvesting terms to continue using their tv's. Whatever it was, I know they're dead to me for life.

I remember when privacy requests were requests, asking if you're 13 or older due to local laws. Now they demand that you must be 13 or older because they will be harvesting from you, otherwise 'get lost and stop using the service'.

They have forced ads on your homescreen on the most expensive Roku you can buy. Completely bullshit. I immediately switched to Apple TV after buying the most expensive Roku and having that happen.
