I'm wondering the same thing in the US. Aside from writing Google and complaining, and purchasing a phone with a different OS (GrapheneOS or PureOS, for example), I'm not sure what else to do.

The issue with that 2nd solution is, "purchasing a phone with GrapheneOS" only registers from Google's perspective as "we just sold an additional Pixel, so we're doing good right now"
