with that in mind, do you think they have control over their information?

It’s not about what I think, they have control over whether to share their location data with a 3rd party or not. By definition that is control. They also have control to stop sharing that data at any time.

Do you have anything to support that the specific system used by the original commenter is using that data in a manner not agreed to when they shared it or in a way that the original commenter doesn’t agree to?

Or are you applying your own personal preferences and beliefs to someone else’s situation?

    It’s not about what I think,

    well if you think your opinion does not matter in a discussion, I may as well just stop responding. especially since with every response you sound more and more hostile.
    the point with that question was to ask if you disagree. you don't have to say you do, it's clear as day

    you are asking for the impossible as they did not disclose what service do they use. but one of the most popular of such services is life360, which has been known to be doing this for a long time

    So you’re applying your own personal preference and beliefs. Saying “all the while this is a major breach of privacy, for both parties, and also of trust” is just you applying your preferences and beliefs to someone else’s personal decision.

    especially since with every response you sound more and more hostile.

    Do I? How so? You made a statement of fact (all the while this is a major breach of privacy, for both parties, and also of trust) about someone else’s choice and situation without any information to directly support it (you are asking for the impossible as they did not disclose what service do they use).

    Calling my questioning and pushback “hostile” seems like bad-jacketing to me. Maybe you’re getting defensive?
