      Check the privacy and degoogled subs. It is a journey in of itself.

      The idea here though is that your location data leaks via shiti apps like social media. Then tbis data is traded by brokers near real time and anyone can buy this info.

      First line of attack is to refuse location data permission and all other permissions. It will break biggest social media apps though.

      Best is to delete them and use browser which will result in a lower quality of experience. But giving up slop apps is just the start…

      Ps. I didnt click the article.

        Thanks for the reminder! I just revoked some default location permissions to apps that really have no business knowing that information.
