I'm furious with my dad.

So, we bought an Android TV Box from our TV & Internet provider and we were setting it up. Until it came to "disabling" (because you can never escape Google's) Google's Analytics. I was INSISTING to disable them, and he was like "and.. wHaT aBoUt tHe CrAsHes?!?". He wants (irony) to be tracked.

I haven't really got my parents into the #deGoogle stuff, partially because they have quite a large photo archive on Google Photos (15GB), so it would take time to port them.

@Blort
I think you should add #MyDataIsMyData e.foundation to that list. This seems like something right up their alley. Trying to #deGoogle the #Android ecosystem.
