As an example: organizers of an electronic festival use this to know if the 2018 festival-goers prefer Trance or Drum'n'Bass (or between artists). With the results, they can book artists for 2019 accordingly. And it doesn't m

You can strategically install the polling station. I would imagine something like this at a music festival, business or academic convention, etc... That way you already have an idea of the respondents, who could be your customers/users

Google allows you to turn off the Location History feature AND allows you to stop giving out your location.

Yes they do. Location History is a feature you can disable, pretty easily. They never claimed "Turn this off if you don't want to share your location in any of the Google services you use. There actually is a control panel for you

Exactly. What's your point? I read the ones from yesterday, including the AP that started the "scandal". The problem is that since Cambridge Analytica, any piece of privacy issue gets a clickbaity headline for little reason j
