Location history is extremely valuable to remember trips and retrace steps. I don't want this living locally on a device where it can go missing.
- heyoni 2y agoThat change is hilarious. So many potentially goofy reasons for it happening but my best take is google deciding not to host any data it can’t mine or use. The privacy policy on location history was quite good and effectively granted users privacy.
- astrange 2y agoPrivacy policies don't help your users against subpoenas.
- heyoni 2y agoIf they cared about privacy they could have easily hosted the data encrypted with a key only known to the user rendering subpoenas useless for that service.
