If you are using Google or Google maps and they mention there is a 711, yeah your location is known. However, I've been avoiding google search since chatgpt, and outside of a few programming searches, google has no idea what I'm doing. Or at least their ads aren't particularly targeted outside the few programming searches. Haven't really been enticed by the 'learn python' ads in the screen I never visit. Can't we also look at the source code? I have been happy with my degoogled products that are open source. That can be trusted. Black boxes cannot be trusted.
