> I don't see why they're worried about location data that much, as phone location is not accurate enough to say an individual was somewhere at a specific time or to show their route in a city within a few feet, or at least that data probably doesn't meet the legal standard of being evidence of a crime, or of being an accessory or co-conspirator to one, so it seems pretty low risk from a privacy perspective. Eh? My phone can pinpoint its location to a part of a room in my 800 square foot flat.
