Yeah. This functionally worked before without gps. It leaves very little other reasons for them to suddenly need gps, now. This implicates there’s little motive to use the gps data for a local feed but the true motive is something else. The writing on the wall is that this is going to be sold to US immigration “enforcement” agencies. Shameful and disgraceful.
