But isn't it still very valuable to be able to see for instance: 400% week over week increase of dns requests to hot-new-ios-app.com. Doesn't matter what users, the aggregate trend is important. Similar to how FB uses their proxy app data to buy rising apps.
I haven't read the use policy maybe there is another line item saying they don't use this aggregate data?
I have no objection to them using aggregate data of that form.
It can be collected from a bunch of other sources (eg. Alexa top domains). It also probably isn't a very good indicator. time.ntp.org probably gets a lot of hits...
Yeah I mean they do have Google search, google analytics, play store etc. Plus apps on Firebase/cloud if they really wanted too though I trust they wouldn't.
I don't think anyone is trying to tell you who to trust or that Google is trustworthy. If you're concerned about DNS privacy then you're probably already not using Google DNS.
