One of those, you have to opt-out when you find out about it gimmicks.

Using the postal address we have for you and certain consumer information such as your device type, language preference and demographic and interest categories provided to us by other companies (such as gender, age range, sports fan, frequent diner, or pet owner), we will determine whether you fit within an audience category that an advertiser is trying to reach.

So another words, they are selling your location information, your hobbies, sex/age, and other items without your consent and getting paid for it.

Mobile usage information includes the addresses or information in URLs (such as search terms) of websites you visit when you use our wireless service, the location of your device ("Location Information"), and your use of applications and features.

Selling of your browsing history as well as your location at the time of browsing.

It makes me want to go analog in this digital world.

who gives a shit.

Maybe I'm just getting old, but the older I get the more I like the idea of privacy. Sometimes I want to "opt-out" of the modern world so to speak.

On the other hand, having youtube and google in the palm of my hand is rad. We're all going to die sooner or later, what are ya gonna do???
