Google sued by 4 attorneys general over location tracking
- Loughla 5y agoI don't know if this has merits or not, but I'm genuinely confused by that last sentence: >A reasonable fact-finder could find that a reasonable, or even an unsophisticated, consumer, would understand that at least some location information is collected through means other than [‘location history’],” the judge wrote in the recent filing How is that valid? When I picture a standard consumer, I think of my grandpa, who knows technology is a thing, but doesn't understand its inner workings. There is no way he would know that if he turns off location history tracking, that his location history would still be tracked. What's the logic there?

- joshuamorton 5y agoI just tried to pause my location history, and a full screen interstitial appeared that said, among other things > This setting does not affect other location services on your device, like Google Location Services and Find My Device. > Your location may still be saved in your Google Account when using other Google sites, apps, and services. For example, location data may be saved as part of activity on Search and Maps when your Web & App Activity setting is on, and included in your photos depending on your camera app settings. So that may have something to do with it.
