"Even Google staff complain that they can't figure out how to turn off location tracking [in Android]. Now, in any kind of sane world, this would be a prohibited activity. Section Five of the Federal Trade Commission Act gives the agency broad latitude to intervene to prevent ‘unfair and deceptive’ practices... And yet governments have taken no action."

: "Our personnal data must not be up for grabs in such unscrutinised way. In such an enormous and never-resting data ecosystem, even app developers have come out claiming they were not aware of who their users location data ends up with. It is time this data (ab)use stops. We must take a stand and demand control over our personal data. If you feel urged to act on this, we suggest you a look at PI's guides on how to protect yourself from online tracking."

In violation of generally accepted privacy principles, Apple’s iPhone privacy restrictions and AppStore rules, and of course privacy laws globally, Elon Musk now intends to force all non-paying Twitter users to allow targeted advertising, location sharing & resale of location data, as a condition of using the platform.

A question - why does the Marks & Spencers app always send me a push notification when I’m near to a store, when I’ve turned off location services?

Feels like a deeply suspect use of my data and I can’t work out how they’re doing it?

Any ideas?

Edited to add: they’re using Beacons! Creepy af. Thanks so much to @floyduk and @jerrylevine - you can read about them here! interestingengineering.com/inn
