Hello everyone. I have a separate profile for my proprietary apps on GOS, yet some of these apps don’t work, so I’m thinking I need to enable Google Play Services.

Was wondering if this could hugely compromise my privacy, and if I could uninstall GPS later on. Thank you!

I don’t understand the “Edward Snowden” part honestly.

because next to nobody has such a high threat model that requires complete anonymity

it’s very different from being anti-corporate and trying to get yourself off of centralized services

most threat models aren’t high enough to warrant worrying about it.
