I have just discovered that my new Android phone apparently does not allow me to export my contacts to a .vcf file, as I have always done in the past, UNLESS I GO THROUGH A GOOGLE APP!!!!

I consider this an egregious violation of my privacy to allow Google access to my phone contacts.

Am I missing something here, or have we really been compromised to this extent that we must share all our phone contacts with the Mother Ship?

Do you know another way to save my Contacts?

Do you really think google doesnt access your phone anyway?

I'm sure they access everything done through my google account and associated apps. Outside of that, I'll make them work for it.

lost cause, I never use my google email never use and turn off maps and location. My phone is only used for calls and text, no banking info or anything else. Im sure google still knows everywhere I go and what I do.

the back door is always wide open to them, its not making them work for it, it is trivial for them
