The Privacy Policy also contains some problems (surprise) e.g. they may automatically collect app usage information. I think a different legal document says that if I enable Find My Mobile they get access to my texts and calls.

I'm trying to not trigger any of these privacy problems as I go along. I think I have done OK so far.

Also, the Privacy Policy has a way to opt-out of some things. It provides an email address to request opting out by; I think I'm going to try it and see what happens.

I got a phone recently. I expected the Samsung to be more dense, but was nonetheless surprised by some of their sneaky tactics.
For one, part of the back of my Samsung phone case box says:
> IMPORTANT INFORMATION: If you open the package, use or retain the device, you accept Samsung's Terms and Conditions, including an Arbitration Agreement.

Wow.

“Happy Monday! On Friday morning, 53-year-old Bob Salem became the fourth person to push a peanut to the top of Pikes Peak with his nose. It took seven days—mostly at night to avoid distracting questions and requests for selfies from passersby—and the peanut in question was actually about a dozen peanuts, as he lost and ate a few along the way.

There’s a lot we could say about this, but our first question is: fourth!?” ⁓ The Dispatch newsletter
