    That's obvious isn't it? If you give the apps location service permission, its obviously they can know where you are. That's the whole purpose of giving location services?

    That was the stupidest IT-oriented article I've scanned in 2020.

    I had to click on it just to make sure that the title wasn't some weird mistake.

    Why was this even posted- what's next, water is wet and the sky is blue?
