The sad reality is, as long as you have a phone you are NOT free from Google. Even if you do not run their apps, they are pre-installed and tracking you in the background. You can use TOR and a VPN, but they still know your movements. The Chinese can still see, listen, and record you. I try to limit my interaction with Google, but unless you are completely off grid without any electronics, you are not free of the Google web or communist exploitation
