@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.

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.

@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

See ya!

@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.
