Google is facing new scrutiny in the wake of revelations that it stores users’ location data even when "Location History" is turned off.
Last Friday, Google quietly edited its description of the practice on its own website—while continuing said practice—to clarify that "some location data may be saved as part of your activity on other services, like Search and Maps."
As a result of the previously unknown practice, which was first exposed by the Associated Press last week, Google has now been sued by a man in San Diego. Simultaneously, activists in Washington, DC are urging the Federal Trade Commission to examine whether the company is in breach of its 2011 consent decree with the agency.
In the lawsuit, which was filed in federal court last Friday in San Francisco, attorneys representing a man named Napoleon Patacsil argued that Google is violating the California Invasion of Privacy Act and the state’s constitutional right to privacy.

ReplyDeleteNO DUH, clowns, you should have known this form the start, becasue I know I have told you people multiple times... I guess you are to stupid to understand it... These people need your history, to put into their AI algorithms that determine how you are or will be based on what you do and say and where you go, and your belief ... This is how the try to stop people who might get into power or to see who might be against their system...
ReplyDeleteBasically it is a predictive program that determines things based on all of yuor data... Think of the movie Eagle Eye or Minority Report... With Minority report, some creatures could predict that you were or were not goign to commit a bad crime, like murder, and these people came and got you, the messed up part is, it is flawed as everything is, and one guy was said to commit murder but didn't, and they still locked him up...
You all will see soon enough, once you embrace the digital dollar over the paper one... When the govt can and or will and sometimes accidentally erase or modify your data in a way you don't get paid, you can't buy anything, you can't get a job or anything... You will see, mark my words...
I mean to prove what I just said,m look at the article below, where San diago or whatever will use body scanners to scan you just to ride anything... this is the start!!!!!!!! Here it all comes folks, mark my words...
