How much does this particular slap reduce earnings really? Alphabet shows $41 billion before tax, so 0.7%? Assuming they do pay that amount. I'm not well-versed in financial matters so please check my numbers.

What was the data actually sent out? It was vague enough to sound like it could be tracking data (eg. Location) or it could be something like automatic updates.

It’s practically everything, IMHO. Last time I set up an Android device, I had to agree to at least 9 different Terms of Service before being allowed to use the phone.
