Won't disabling that not allow me to find my device and to disable the phone remotely if stolen?
Probably. But if you want that anti-theft feature, I wonder if you could disable it and then install another app for that which serves you alone. Whatever you install probably wouldn’t be baked into the kernel but probably a good trade-off.

I don't know but that article probably only applies to 'murica, if it's even accurate. I'm doubtful. Doesn't apply to Canada, that's illegal practice hete I'm sure.
I think the author said he was in Australia.. but he felt like it’s an encroachment by the US in some way.
