    I would agree with that, my own estimation was several hundred megabytes of data per week was being uploaded but it could easily be a gigabyte.
    Either way it is ludicrous anounts and it cannot be just location and usage info either.
    There is no way. A gigabyte a week would be an entire encyclopedia Britannica every month.
    I am sure it is also covertly obtained media files, probably audio, images even video. That is the only thing that could account for so much data is being uploaded.
    I hope the Australian investigation is ongoing and they nail whoever is responsible to the wall for this.

    GOOGLE is tracking you right into a store, even if you aren’t using its Maps app — and it gloats of its cyberstalking capability to people online.
