  The district court failed to consider conflicts with Google’s Chrome Privacy Notice (CPN), which said that users’ “choice not to sync Chrome with their Google accounts meant that certain personal information would not be collected and used by Google,” the appeals court ruled.

  Remember this in everything you do. The opt-outs, and toggles, and settings, are worthless. They’re going to take your data regardless of what you choose. Microsoft does it, Facebook does it, Google does it, TikTok does it, every big company is actively disregarding what you said and stealing from you.
