My problem isn’t so much that Google is storing location data if people have agreed to allow it. The semantics of agreeing to enable location history are arguable, but by default Google’s location history feature is opt-out. I’d prefer it be not be that way, but that’s a debate for another time.
What I do have a problem with is what this line from the article suggests:
>An Associated Press investigation last year revealed that even with these settings disabled, Google continued to collect and store users' location data.
Maybe I’m missing something from the TOS, but it seems to me that the opt-out process doesn’t do what it describes; so what is it for?
