A smart phone is to use for your own liking is business etc. But it is NOT the idea that one Brand Name has the right to take all your information.
We tested that, and in Google's opinion, our account (Test Account) may be not correct, now they came with the notion, that we shall send them a government ID... Who the hell are those guys. They are not our Boss, secondly I purchased the Phone so kindly do not tell me what I can do with it. After all Google is just in the roots a search engine. They are not a authority, if they want for there advertising my private info, well than they will have to pay for it. People are to careless with their private data. In my opinion, there should be many legit Marketplaces out there. It should not be an obligation to give any private information, same for facebook or any other company. Its up to the people to put a stop to this nonsense.
People please be more careful, install on your computer ghost in your Browser. Check where all your info goes. Even some Banks when you log in online have links to third parties... Anybody who is not your Government or an authority does not have right to your private Information... this is where stealing starts... question is if you don't stop here where will it go?
Also we did try it with Itunes, at least we where able to call apple and we where able to get the apps without giving out any information. Try to Call google. You will have a hard time, so you are giving them all kinds of information but you can't get in touch with them. Only if you purchase Adds from them, than they will talk to you.... So again thing twice..
