Google does this: “wow best thing ever look at the cranks getting upset. No privacy in public places. Thanks Google.”
Amazon does this: “wow worst thing ever–they’re not even letting me look at the data.”
Daily reminder: you’re sharing a video hosted on YouTube. Inconsistency and lack of logic will get us to privacy one day. Keep at it gang! Chins up! Port paddle in reverse! Starboard paddle straight–we’ll get there in no time! Such enthusiasm!
I’m sure this self-felating comment is really the kick we need to get us there!
My neighbor across the street has a Ring camera pointed right at my house, so Amazon doesn’t need a vehicle driving by.
Amazon drivers have no reason to be near my home, we have standards.
Lol you’re so much better than the rest of us because you go to target instead of amazon
I don’t shop at target. Your lack of standards doesn’t make me better than you, it makes you worse than me.
Except when you buy something in Amazon. Your can see your home also for sure in Google Street View, same as you are even in YT and webs with open life cams

Surveillance is big business for big corps, they put it even in your home and your pocket (Alexa, Siri, GPS, smart TV, smartwatches, smartphones, credit cards, discounter apps…). Only leaving your home, going to the shop, in every city you are at least in half a dozend cams. Privacy nowadays is an illusion.
You know GPS isn’t survaluence it is just a one way very slow signal.
Yes, this what the people think, a Smartphone is always locatable ⨦50m, except you switch it off
Yes, but that’s got nothing to do with GPS.
No, but anyway it’s not correct that GPS function only works in one direction- without GPS, location is made with triangulation fron Cell Towers, which give an aprox locatiob. With GPS on they can find you with a precision of few meters. Not possible if GPS works only in one direction and also not slow, if not, an navigation app wouldn’t work.

GPS works in one direction. GPS satellites send one-way GPS signals, they receive no information back from your phone.
With GPS on they can find you with a precision of few meters
Yes, very likely.
Not possible if GPS works only in one direction
Absolutely possible. For example Android phones can, and in most cases do, send your location (that your phones figures out from GPS signals) to Google, with your internet connection, either Wi-Fi or cellular data. GPS signals don’t need to be bidirectional for that to happen.
