as someone who does not have a google account signed in to my android phone, who tries to mostly use f-droid, i find it deeply unsettling that all my actions are recorded by the overlords. why should you opt in to that?
you say turn it off but how many people know that option even exists?
- lern_too_spel 3y agoIt's off by default, so all the people who have it on know that option exists.
- prepend 3y agoYes, but every time I’ve shown someone their location map they have not remembered turning it on. I think this is in part to google prompting you pretty much every time you use maps or other web tools to turn on location history for improved functionality. I think lots of people don’t understand that and just turn it on to remove the prompt. Kind of frustrating as this could be done in a privacy preserving manner by keeping all location data local on device and overlaying it on the map locally. Functionality wise, google doesn’t need these data.
