    Is rumored that the Target self check cameras show you the most unflattering image of yourself so that you will want to avoid stealing and getting that photo on the news.

    Mobile phones constantly reveal the location to the cell towers. There is no need for an app. This is just mind games.

    Google can predict traffic jams because they know the location of everybody. Nobody cares about tracking as long as they can ignore it. The app makes ignoring difficult.

      The app most definitely isn’t also going to collect significant portions of data as state sponsored malware…
