I would agree with that if there was a real choice: if you don’t like one company’s EULA, go with some other company. But I’m guessing that all cell phones have the same kind of EULA. I hope someone corrects me if I’m wrong about that.
Anyway, I’m not asking for much. If the police want to examine my cell phone data, fine. Just get a warrant. Convince some judge that I’m a possible bad guy. Otherwise, leave me (and my data) alone.
Apple pledges to store your location data anonymized and not to sell it on or hand it out if someone asks for it. They require a warrant to release what information they have on you. Their EULA is correspondingly different. Remember, the government has gone after Apple several times for refusing to proceed without warrants or give them backdoors to invade people’s privacy.
