Comment on Where did the dust settle on Syncthing Fork?
theparadox@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoIt’s actually a bit informative. I believe Android approximates location using the SSID/WiFi information, so it’s not just network that it’s used for.

Hm…Still so.
It should be its fully own permission to allow even if it belongs both to location and networking.

I think the idea is that it is not something separately securable? I don’t disagree, I’d like to be able to disallow any app not explicitly granted permission to use any method to determine my location. Unfortunately if Google can scan WiFi and figure out your location, anything with access to WiFi can too maybe?
I don’t know. I love technology but this fucking surveillance state situation is really getting to me. Routers using WiFi signal passing through your body to identify and locate you regardless of whether or not you are carrying any tech and all the other shit I don’t know about… ugh.
Yep. That’s what ai want.
