This is in the context of scanning homework assignments.

Not to mention-- Firebase tracks what, events? You think somehow it's encoding the documents in an event stream to exfiltrate them?



An app that shares my event data silently and without consent cannot be trusted with even low-grade private information. Why would I ever allow it on a device that handles high-grade private information?


> event data silently and without consent

It's neither silent nor without consent since you were told about it.


> An app that shares my event data silently and without consent

You're complaining about a -disclosed- use of analytics.

It's not without consent nor is it silently. You consent when you decide to install it and it's not silently if they just told you that it happens.
