Have not heard of this but I’m looking into it now. Thanks!
Yeah that’s because they can’t sell your location data to the police.
Why not?
Because they have to comply with lawful subpoenas for free.
But they could still sell it for money if they wanted to, that was my point.
If it’s on sale the nsa probably bought it already to be honest
And also because Google doesn’t sell data.
Hahaha. That’s a joke right?
Where do I go to buy a list of your location history off Google if it’s not true?
Ok I just went down a very deep internet rabbit hole and went from believing google definitely sells data to it doesn’t sell data to it sells data (kinda). I’d recommend this article on RTB’s which explains how google advertisements actually work and how they leak your data (including your location).
I’d also recommend watching the short video by Brave linked in the article - I didn’t understand the first part but the actual article explains it quite well, the end is the juicy part.
Hope this helps!
That was quite informative! Thank you for the article.
Welcome! :)
Like Apple, Google also doesn’t want competitors in collecting user data
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?
Oh well, guess I’m still happy about this magic bag i got for going places I don’t want Google knowing about.

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
I’m using this feature and am looking forward to it becoming on-device.
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.

Nah, that toggle is meaningless.
Evidence?
