There’s a name for that:

And yes, this is part of the reason I went to Apple  Apple can of course use what it knows to help you as well, but at least it asks first!

I had a Motorola google thing before the iPhones and it decided to import my Facebook contacts and reconcile it all with the phone numbers in my address book.  You couldn’t seem to divorce the two, it wanted to integrate the entire data set and lord knows what it would do next with the data after that.

That is also part of the reason I don’t use Facebook anymore. I mean along with the part where my friend thought she was pregnant when we were like 17 and next thing I’m getting ads for baby clothes. None of my communication through apple influences the ads I see.

I’m a notorious sandboxer though, I tend to airgap parts of my life in different systems so it’s not all in one folder on Dropbox.
