17-minute long video that basically summarises into: There is something on Android devices that is logging just about everything users do on them.
Can’t say I’m surprised at all since this is precisely their business model: You are Google’s product. The more services you use, the better a product you are to Google’s customers.
Some of the most intrusive services I can think of are: Search, social networking and phone. Google, of course, has the first one nailed completely. It has so far failed miserably at social networking which is perhaps a very juicy fruit for its business purposes, but who cares about that when you are doing well with phones? It doesn’t matter what social networking platform or email service (remember Gmail privacy issues?) you use as long as you do it through your phone (as many people do), since the phone is able to log and already in wide-scale practice if the above video is true.
