I see this often, but the trust problem still exists. There's no universe where I can trust Facebook (or Google or...) To not track me. Others have their own standards, but I don't feel like it's unreasonable to consider them

Most criminals know to use burner phones or at least turn off their phones, I'd be shocked if anything more than a token number of them were caught with this data. Meanwhile it can and does put innocent bystanders (often minorities) at
