Google will update Maps to prevent authorities from accessing location history data - The Verge
doctorcrimson, I feel like the vast majority of headlines about this stuff could use clarification of “without warrant.”
ILikeBoobies, They can still access it locally, if Google wanted to protect people then they wouldn’t store location data
MonsiuerPatEBrown, that is possible with the current google settings
it is not default. but it is possible.
southsamurai, 
Nah, that toggle is meaningless.
lolcatnip, Evidence?
TheGreenGolem, How about the case where I explicitly want them to store my location data? I mean I really use and like that feature.
possiblylinux127, Use Organic maps and continue contributing to openstreetmap
800XL, Have not heard of this but I’m looking into it now. Thanks!
itsonlygeorge, Yeah that’s because they can’t sell your location data to the police.
LufyCZ, Why not?
KillerTofu, Because they have to comply with lawful subpoenas for free.
LufyCZ, But they could still sell it for money if they wanted to, that was my point.
ezchili, If it’s on sale the nsa probably bought it already to be honest
