Not absurd at all. To you maybe, but then you're not everyone. *shrug*

Why not? You did. I did. Everybody in this thread did. Anybody with an ear heard the media blitz about the June 8 start date. Anybody who owns Amazon hardware who hasn't heard about Sidewalk going live (and the cries to disable it) is living under a rock.

Nope. Not at all. That's where all the FUD comes into play. People are so up in arms about nothing that they don't realize that Sidewalk isn't about data collection or storage. So no, I'm not saying "what's a little bit more." Not at all. Because using Sidewalk isn't giving Amazon any more info about me.
Disable Sidewalk if you want. I don't care. Just stop pretending doing so is closing up some sort of massive privacy/security breach.
