    I personally disabled the feature on my phone when it popped up as available. I don’t have much of an interest in contributing to a weird surveillance network.

      Despite I admit I might find this feature useful, I wonder what “young” iPhoned generation thinks about it: be part of the surveillance network and ignore any worst case distopic future you can be trapped in, or be at least critical about it and have some kind of doubts and questions? To me it looks like most of them just accept anything and laugh about any critical thought they’re offered cause they are in a iTrust world.

      Google maps history is not that different and I liked it as long as it’s supposed to be really “my private data” but we know it’s not, and own cloud data is still something too nerd for the mass.

      Pretty sure actual surveillance organizations don’t need a known Android service to locate you and track what you’re doing.
