I was given a "Nest Hub" by a family member, I'm very privacy conscious. What can I do with this thing? (reddthat.com)

Feel really guilty, my one family member gave me this. I don't use much google stuff anymore and I really dislike the company as it gets more intrusive. Is there anything I can do with this thing besides give it away? Nothing is worse than getting a gift that you can't use.

Google owns Nest. Personally, I don’t use Google products due to their incredibly invasive ToS.

That’s what OP already said in the text of their question.
