   You don't. You're fully logged in to google.

   I frankly don't find the sandbox google play services argument convincing, except for the sake of greater compatibility with a very narrow selection apps that don't work with MicroG yet.

   My knowledge of Android is admittedly quite rudimentary, but I find it alarming that when I install Google Maps with zero permissions, it already has my account info (which it's getting from google play)

     @divested @FarLine99 @RL_Dane @Winterstar @ianthetechie So the device registration is independent of login? That's good to know. I'll have to dig into the sandboxed Google Services on Graphene to determine how they mitigate that.
