  You can turn it off all you want, it won’t stop the scanning and collection.

  Like turning off Google Location history, its just hidden from your view.

    I obviously don’t trust Google (who does?) but you say that like it’s a verifiable fact. Is it?

      Yep put ur phone traffic through wire shark and u really location gets sent to google regardless. They do claim not to store it tho but I wouldn’t believe that for a second.

      IIRC it was, then the EU stopped it. I don’t know if they still do it outside of the EU.

  Trouble is when everybody else uses it, just because you turn it off doesn’t mean you won’t have issues.
