Oh yes it does! The general rule should always be, "unless there is a compelling reason for doing it, don't!" Especially when it comes to privacy and sharing personal data.

When Jolla does the same thing, why should the reaction be any different? Because Google is evil and Jolla is good? And how do you know that?
