Ok I just went down a very deep internet rabbit hole and went from believing google definitely sells data to it doesn’t sell data to it sells data (kinda). I’d recommend this article on RTB’s which explains how google advertisements actually work and how they leak your data (including your location).
I’d also recommend watching the short video by Brave linked in the article - I didn’t understand the first part but the actual article explains it quite well, the end is the juicy part.
Yeah that’s because they can’t sell your location data to the police.
Why not?
Because they have to comply with lawful subpoenas for free.
But they could still sell it for money if they wanted to, that was my point.
If it’s on sale the nsa probably bought it already to be honest
And also because Google doesn’t sell data.
Hahaha. That’s a joke right?
Where do I go to buy a list of your location history off Google if it’s not true?
