I do see a difference between commercial applications by Google and seismic activities mapping by Stanford. Also if it comes from a university you know it’s been approved by some ethics board. Not saying those are perfect, but definitely better than Google.
I agree. Dark Sky was ethical in their data collection and sales. That doesn’t change the fact that most users are unaware of how a free app is using their information.
