the linked article doesn’t describe getting data from Google, but getting data from grindr and other apps. Grindr is notorious for this kind of thing and makes it easy to locate users…in fact its the main feature of the app so its impossible to fix.

There are different levels of privacy. Many of the issues with Google are theoretical or philosophical, but location broadcasting apps like grindr are clear and present dangers to your privacy.

Theres a book/movie that explains this pretty well…It’s called “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”. Online most people are like the Grinch and they believe others are silly/stupid/wrong or immoral for doing fun things. Seeing them suffer instinctively sounds good.

They are likely to be super surprised when the burners return and talk about how it changed their life…After all the best burns are when shit goes sideways.
