If two people have their phones in the same room every night, I think Google can make presumptions on the situation.

If two people have their phones in the same room every night, I think Google can make presumptions on the situation.
- bduerst 7y agoThat they live in the same high rise? That they're roommates? Again, this is further to GP's point about exaggeration.
- lalos 7y agoThey can easily obtain the SSID of the network they are at and that's it. Or scrape the Uber receipt from relevant gmail accounts the morning after with the appropriate time stamps. It's trivial with a reasonable degree of confidence to deduce it.
- bduerst 7y agoBecause roommates don't share the same wifi? Or friends crash on each others couches and take an uber the next day? What's next, are you going to say the Nest cam is watching them in the bedroom? Again, this is all hyperbole.

I'm not claiming Google does this, I'm claiming this is very trivial. Of course it will be probabilistic so you can claim something with 95% chance of being true. That's good enough for advertising purposes or just to be put in a box called 'likely to have a one night stand'.
