They just spent the last decade taking away the privacy protections. For example, you can't really turn the GPS tracking off on new phones. You can just choose not to share it with other applications--Google still gets the data. Another example is that you can't take the batteries out of new phones easily--this is so that you can't really ever turn them off (and so that you buy a new phone instead of changing the battery).
