So google ASKS you to turn on location data during setup. It’s the consumer’s decision to turn it on and reap the _$benefits_ or keep it off and lose out on _$benefits_. Should there be a secondary and tertiary prompt warning of the exact data collected? Will users just mindlessly click through those too?
- codetrotter 3y agoNo it should not ask at all during setup. You should have to manually go into settings and enable it there. That’s what real opt-in is. Not overwhelming the user with a bunch of questions during account setup.
- ivan_gammel 3y agoIs it that simple though? 99% of businesses do not share full context of the use of personal data in a way where user could understand all the unintended consequences of their choice. Does Google explicitly tell users when they opt-in to some feature that it may result in sensitive data eventually exposed?
