Have not heard of this but I’m looking into it now. Thanks!
Yeah street complete ( the app mostly used to contribute to osm) is really cool and a lot of fun
If you do crime, leave your phone at home
Yeah if you attend a protest, go to church or vote leave your phone at home.
Damn the world is getting crazy
Where is the problem with going to the church?
You’ve never seen The Kingsman?
Likely not. Apologies for missing the reference, but I don’t have a clue
Look up “Kingsman church scene” or watch the movie. The scene is one of the best action scenes. Won’t necessarily spoil the movie but will give up some info.
The government will know you went to church. That’s pretty scary if you ask me. Church should be a safe place and having the government track you literally anywhere is concerning. Not to mention it opens up the door for people to be watched even more because they attended a church, mosque or something else.
I was gonna say, I. In this country I get more worried that I don’t attend.
I’m pretty sure no one cares if you don’t attend. (At least at the NSA)
Technically speaking, anywhere that your face/body/gait can be seen/analysed, is where you will be tracked. At this point, the most prudent thing to do is to completely divorce your online identity from your physical self.

For sure. It won’t be just Google authorities will be asking for your location data.
I feel like the vast majority of headlines about this stuff could use clarification of “without warrant.”
Why bother with Google when they can just ask your telco.
Because that data tells them a lot less and requires a paper trail, which they don’t like.
Telco doesn’t have the same level of precision I think.
Yes and no
The Telco can say between what antennas you are. In urban areas with lots of antennas that’s still pretty accurate to almost say what building. Especially with 5G the number of antennas and accuracy go upto in some cases centimeter/inch accuracy so better than GPS. That last case would be in a mall with small antenna in each corridor.
In rural areas with data switched off that’s more like somewhere in that square mile, way worse than GPS.
They can still access it locally, if Google wanted to protect people then they wouldn’t store location data
How about the case where I explicitly want them to store my location data? I mean I really use and like that feature.
Then store it on the local device where its encrypted.

I’m using this feature and am looking forward to it becoming on-device.
Like Apple, Google also doesn’t want competitors in collecting user data

You’ll still have the option of syncing it to Google’s servers, but it will be encrypted there so only you can view the contents, not Google
Oh well, guess I’m still happy about this magic bag i got for going places I don’t want Google knowing about.
