I’m sure Google does monetize the gps data instantly, then throws it away rather than save old data that only costs money to respond to government requests.

This is a case where privacy is economically beneficial to Google.

The device only was for privacy. When the data was stored in the cloud, the government had unrestricted access. By making it device only they need to get your device to get that data.

There’s no privacy concern. They sent you the tablet so you could watch the training video. They need to know you watched the instructional video so that’s not a privacy intrusion.

Watch the video and turn it off.
