Agreeing to location services for the purpose of performing the apps intended use, is not the same as agreeing that the government can track your location on a whim. Where the fuck are the constitutional lawyers who fight this kind of egregious constitutional violation?

    Reminds me of that disney case where they claimed agreeing to the terms on disney+ meant they could kill that guys wife.

    There should be an edit function on a comment. Of course clients and federation vary.

    There is but I didn't want to visibly edit the comment 14 hours (or however long) after I made it.

    Hope that's ok with you and a good enough reason for my choice. Or do you have more 'advice'?

    The trick that the Government has learned is that it's easier and cheaper to buy your location data from a third party.

    No warrant necessarily since the data is available to anyone who wants to buy it.
