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.
gollark: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/10/29/australia_google_location_settings_investigation/> The case concerns two account settings – "Location History" and "Web and App Activity". 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.
gollark: But Google's GPS-based locations are *more* accurate than that, by a lot.
