Can we talk about the dark-pattern in that email body?
- Mention that this doesn't include name/address/phone number, while glossing over that this allows near-GPS level tracking (the "address" part is particularly offensive).
- Talks about what "Google Fi" uses CPNI for, including a bullet list, which is completely irrelevant and not why they're sending this email. It is literally so that you'll skim it, and not read the next paragraph.
- Imply that this is authorizing "Googling LLC" (and other Alphabet companies). But what this is actually doing is authorizing Alphabet's affiliates meaning up to every company in the world.
- They updated the ToS but didn't mention what changed.
