How did were the apps able to collect geolocation even though location services were disabled?
- baggy_trough 2y agoProbably from IP address geolocation.
- abound 2y agoIndeed, the article notes that the lat/long wasn't "GPS exact", more like "postal code exact".
- xenic 2y agoDoing that on the client side sounds pointless though, if you are already transmitting the ip.
- baggy_trough 2y agoIt might be for consistency between vendors.
