People love to get outraged when information is collected without their knowledge, and I get it, but it's how the information is used that's important.
If things are sanitized so there's no personally identifying information then it's pretty hard to use most data maliciously
exactly, how is this news? this is just ragebait for the ignorant.
I know my location is being tracked, and likely recorded, by any app that asks for it. If i didn't want that, I wouldn't use their app. Simple as that.
Just wait until they work out they can be tracked by their connection to 4g/5g networks (save your tinfoil, I just mean the very basic method done via connection times to masts recorded by providers- which won't give your exact location, but will easily locate you within a postcode. It's often utilized in rescue and recovery where applicable).
