BBC said it'll pull radio streams from TuneIn to slurp more of your data but nobody noticed till Amazon put its foot in it

How do the BBC justify this

I can only add to the dismay of other posters.

Listeners have listened for years on LW MW FM DAB and Freeview without the BBC collecting data yet they remove the most modern convenient way of listening for the license holders but allow foreign users still to access the stations with all the features of TuneIn

They even advertise for us to listen via smart speakers but now I can't wake up to it via my Amazon Echo - nor can I play it in both Living room and Kitchen at the same time. Come on BBC we had a perfectly good working solution and you take it away just so you can get some data on who is listening. But now you don't have the listeners!! Please reverse this stupid decision immediately.
