this location timeline page https://timeline.google.com/maps/timeline should be included up along in there. if not deceptive, it's certainly badly designed and confusing enough for you to overlook what options are

it's akin to calling for people to be silenced. it is literally that. "socialization needs to be destroyed". lol

sure! except, well, it's still a derivative work. even within those that end up at 'well, for "legal purposes" and in some settled case, it isn't' - it still got called a derivative work and was considered as s

the way a program works isn't actually how a human would work, and those (false) equivalences, don't make the way a program works to be excusable. anyway, it doesn't matter, it's just distracting bullshit ultimately. mea

talking about privacy is different from imposing reduced privacy on someone. so i'm not sure why you're bringing that up like 'that's the thing that's been talked about all along, and it's not bad' (and it
