It is possible I am not expressing myself clearly. The API may not directly access location data ( though I have a hard time believing that either ). Processing may be local, but I just find it very difficult to believe that the information gleamed from that common platform would not be used. And if it can be used, it will be used. And then it will correlated with information that was previously gathered via regular means. I am not sure how that is not a concern? To Trump's credit, he seems hesitant to go all in on this front. edit: There is something that occurred to me after writing this. FB had an API at the beginning of their game when they were shooting to get developers' attention. They did. As the leaked documents show what really end up happening, API evolved in ways that benefited big boys. I guess my rambling point is that whatever current specs say, may quickly become rather distant past.
