I understand that its slightly beyond the scope of this article, but it is important to note that many, many people give informed consent for Google et al to track their location history. Both Google Maps and Google Photos insist on enabling Location History on your account. While Google has proven itself competent at ensuring warrants are valid, I do not feel that is enough protection. Warrants may be valid, but the idea that a single entity has access to my location history and can be compelled to produce it is a bridge to far, in my opinion. Basically, people knowingly and willingly give up their privacy for features and convenience.
