@WoomyNNYes Nintendo Life did cover it, here's their PSA about it. You're gonna wanna do the same thing at the NSO channel too. I went ahead and disabled data sharing on both the eShop and the NSO channel.

Ask if you want to be Switch friends with me, but I'd like to know you first. Thanks! ❤️

Also, if I don't respond to your post within a day (or two), don't worry, I'm not ignoring you. I'm going to be busy, though I will do my best to respond in a timely fashion.

@MarioLover92 @SM3DASislit Well look at that, they did. Thanks, guys! I may delete the thread then. Or do you think I should leave it, in case others missed the story like me?

@WoomyNNYes I didn't know they were doing this and I didn't see the article so cheers, I appreciate it!

It's weird they don't give you a transparent option when you download the update though, normally these things give you an option of share limited data or share full data etc

ehh....now you got me having to look there now....

@SwitchForce Yeah, it's total bovine excrement that Nintendo is sharing our console data with stupid invasive google. This whole data collecting & sharing business ridiculous.
