The species is named after Mr Stefan Naumann, a Saturniidae specialist.

gollark: Er, yes, oppressive.
gollark: I live in a relatively sane, free, pleasant country!
gollark: You literally live somewhere with a repressive authoritarian government!
gollark: You would generally expect that if you turn off some location-tracking-related setting, your location would no longer be tracked.

The regulator said consumers would assume that turning off "Location History" would mean Google did not track their location. In reality, both settings needed to be switched off to ensure a degree of privacy.
