Interesting tangent to this is that Google has recently announced that they are shutting down their "Timeline" service in favor of having that information stored locally on the user device. I wonder if this is a "do no evil" reaction to geofence warrants -- if Google does not have the information they cannot give it to law enforcement. This has been Google's practice in other situation (GDPR) where retaining information inherently exposes Google's customers to law enforcement violations of their privacy via Google itself.

- mc32 2y agoPlease snitch. No, I mean it, snitch on the dirty things Google does in gathering user data and selling behavioral data to the largest bidder. I'm for total blind advertising. Non-targeted --not on the individual level. No smaller than ZIP.
- ikmckenz 2y agoNo, they didn’t. After corporate restructuring, parent company Alphabet uses a different cute slogan, while Google retains “don’t be evil” in their code of conduct.
