maximus87 Thank you. I just saw the link. It is very informative. But is there any evidence? I mean: "you location (constantly), and it uploads it even after you turn every option off and disable everything possible, collects it even when you dont have internet, and uploads later." is a dangerous claim.
Well i assure you I am not making it up. What i've said here is me actually quoting a television news report having investigated an android phone. I cant recall if it was by nbc or abc, but one of the american news channels. This video is still available on youtube, though unfortunately even though i actually downloaded the video to keep a copy for a day like this, i cant find it right now, nor the link to give you.
This was a video from i think 2014, where they tested with two phones while putting one in airplane mode and having no google account logged in, and another phone in normal mode with a google account. Neither phone had internet. They took both phones for a joy ride for a few hours. Once back they connected them to a sophisticated "man-in-the-middle" investigative router suitcase. The box basically deciphered the encrypted communication to google so they could see what the actual communication contained. They then saw that the phone in airplane mode had collected every bit of information about every wifi device it had encountered with exact time stamps and it uploaded that to google. This basically gives your entire travel path away with exact timing.
Now this was done in 2014. Do you think google has gotten better at respecting your privacy today? Or the other way around?
You decide for yourself. My conclusion is clear for me!
If i find the video i'll come back and post it here.
Also, even aside from this, the way the gps works on regular phones constantly gives away your location as well to a different google server. This has been addressed in gos and thats why gos uses its own gps call up server. I forget whar its called.
