There's very real client-side protection: Do not have sleazy, add-supported apps installed, and - for what it's worth - keep your GPS and location services turned off except when explicitly needed.
- mirimir 9y agoBetter yet, don't use a smartphone when you care about your location being tracked.
- monochromatic 9y agoWell, sure. If I'm ever going to go murder someone, I'll try to remember to leave it at home. But I care some about it being tracked even when I'm not doing anything bad.
- mirimir 9y agoWell, OPSEC isn't all or nothing. And there's lots of other good advice.
- abalone 9y agoIt’s not clear if you believe all ad-supported apps are sleazy or if you think it’s clear to users when apps use precise geotargeted ads. Either way that doesn’t constitute “very real client-side protection” anymore than expecting folks to regularly disable basic functionality.
