Just to add to ussnorways post: imo getting bent out of shape about data collection is a little like shutting the barn door after the horse has bolted. If you own a phone, shop online or use credit then your already in the system and stopping critical updates will make no changes to that effect. I understand that no one likes the thought of being 'snooped on' but to cripple your machine because of it is going a tad far.
